I'm just wondering what others would do in this position? I did some subcontract work (very informally) about 6 months ago. The records were a mess and I wasn't able to contact the company directly. I listed all the queries out and raised a bill. Never heard anything more about it, no money received. Chased the bill, no response so I sent a legal action letter. Received a letter back offering 60% of bill as settlement as apparently the work was not up to scratch.
What would you do, would you accept the settlement or not?

On the limited info...
I would accept the 60% on the basis that the agreement was 'very informal'.
Take the 60% and formalise any future sub-contracting work you conduct.
Accept
I too would also accept on the basis of the information given as it appears there is no agreed quote and no engagement letter.
Has there been a counter offer from yourself of a higher percentage - would you accept 80%?
Depending on the amounts involved it may not be worth the costs to take it further as I wouldn't be confident you would get a judgement in your favour.
