Money claim advice

[Shacksie]

I have a money claim for 11k for which I filed a defence last year then it was stayed. The claimants solicitor has said that they are about to lift the stay. I now want to pay the debt in full to avoid a court case.

If I offer to pay the debt in full before the stay is lifted do they still charge court fees and costs and any other fees (if so, which?).
If I offer to pay the debt in full after the stay is lifted but before the hearing do they still charge court fees and costs and any other fees (if so, which?).

Do I have any leverage for making a full and final offer of less than the full debt amount?

Negotiate a full and final settlement. You may have some bargaining power if you are offering cash now, and to save the time and expense of taking it further.

Atticus, regarding the court fees, costs and any other fees - if I say I will pay the full debt will I have to pay anything additional at this stage?

Offer a full and final settlement! Get it all wrapped up in the terms on which you pay.
