FAQ
Most cases settle out of court before proceeding to trial. Some say that the measure of a good settlement is when both parties walk away from the settlement unhappy.This means that the defendant paid more than he wanted to pay, and the plaintiff accepted less than he wanted to accept.
If a debtor makes a written or verbal statement saying that they are making payment to you in full and final settlement of the debt, or words to that effect, and that payment is less than the debt owed, care needs to be taken as you could inadvertently lose your legal right to pursue the balance of the debt.
Full and final settlement means that you ask your creditors to let you pay a lump sum instead of the full balance you owe on the debt. In return for having a lump-sum payment, the creditor agrees to write off the rest of the debt.
By contrast, a payment "in full and final settlement" can usually be interpreted as an offer to settle a dispute on terms that, in exchange for the sum tendered, the creditor will give up the rest of its claim.

What percentage should I offer a full and final settlement? It depends on what you can afford, but you should offer equal amounts to each creditor as a full and final settlement. For example, if the lump sum you have is 75% of your total debt, you should offer each creditor 75% of the amount you owe them.
Payment for non-availed leaves (earned or privilege leave), which is calculated as the number of days of non-availed leaves multiplied by basic salary divided by 26 days (paid days in a month).
How Is a Settlement Paid Out? Compensation for a personal injury can be paid out as a single lump sum or as a series of periodic payments in the form of a structured settlement. Structured settlement annuities can be tailored to meet individual needs, but once agreed upon, the terms cannot be changed.
