Our client is not prepared to accept a payment in instalments - it is not for ******** to provide credit in that manner. However, if you are likely to have difficulties with payment, then you will be aware that you may be able to obtain bank loans which can be repayable over time.
This offer is open until 4pm on 5 May 2009. Our client's costs increase with every email or letter we write, and accordingly, should you reject this offer now our client reserves its rights to seek recovery of the full amount to which it is entitled. |
If I were you I would not call them or email them again until you have spoken to a lawyer. You only have one week to play with so get one ASAP. But do as much research into similar cases on the Web between now and your first meeting so you are well prepared and get the most out of the meeting.
