Had an issue with a businesses bill. Complained loads. Told him when I paid it I thought it was unfair and intended to take him to court.
Marked the payment as “paid under duress” on the details field of the payment.
Anyway, I did the pre small claims court action letter, he agrees to return £1500 for not doing court. I reckon the court will award me £2500 to £3500 + court fees, so I sent a letter accepting the £1500 and agree that’s the end of it. He received the letter and signed for it 7 days ago.
He has my payment details. No payment received.
How long do I wait before sending in court paperwork?
14 days?
Any advice appreciated

I'd give him 14 days then serve paperwork. Once he pays don't cancel the action until you have cleared funds...
