'Without Prejudice Save as to Costs'


Dear Sir / Madam

Thank you for your letter received on XX/XX/XX.

Your comments have been noted.

The alleged debt is statute barred by virtue of Section 5 of the Limitations Act 1980 in that no payment or acknowledgment has been made for over 6 years. In light of this I invite you to withdraw your County Court Claim, Ref: XXXXX against me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

XXXXXX

Make sure you get Proof of Postage.

Why do you suggest marking this letter "without prejudice"?

Why do you suggest marking this letter "without prejudice"?

Because it's to try to reach a 'settlement'.

No, it's to tell the claimant to drop the case. There is no element of compromise in this. What would the sender be offering by way of concession?
