    Don't agree, only ever agree to an amount in "Full and Final Settlement" where that is stated in the correspondence as then you can't be pursued by anyone.

    I;d send them a CCA Request to see if the debt is even enforceable and try to strengthen your negotiating position.

    My posts here are based on my experience of a variety of life events. I have no formal legal training & if in doubt take professional legal advice or contact CAB. If you follow anything I write here you do so at your own risk & I accept no liability for any loss, costs or other outcomes.

        Okay my filing system is pants ( ie. there isn't one ) thinking on it I think the 70% was with 1st Credit/Intrum - but I have found a more recent Robinson Way / Hoist one I settled for 50%.

        This was my letter initially...

        And then ...

        and on my credit file the account was moved to closed, marked as partially settled and a £0 balance.

        ( this is my closed accounts bit on my credit file - http://legalbeagles.info/forums/file...tch?id=1422479 all the 'Satisfied' ones are partial settlements - I needed to clean up my file and get all the defaults marked as closed to apply for a mortgage next year )

        So it might be useful to post up your letter you've received if it is different
