'said' vs 'have said'

Could you tell me what is the differece between "It seems I said that before" and "It seems I have said that before"? How different do they feel to you?

Dear Lucas Both would be OK in the correct context. It depends if you have in mind a specific past time (I said) or a general period of time or number of times before the present (I have said). Kind regards Michael
