We look forward to hearing from you.”
Okay this is a superb offer!
However, I do have a couple of concerns:
- If you do take up this offer to spread the amount over six months, what happens if you make a late payment or miss a payment?
- If you pay the full amount at once, what are the guarantees that you won’t be pursued at a later date for the outstanding balance?
Whatever agreement you come to, make sure that you have it in writing!! Also make sure that any payments you make you have a record of that.
I would suggest that if paying the full amount at once you get a letter from the company accepting this as a final payment and that they or any other company will not pursue you for the remaining balance in the future.
It is also advisable that any payments are made through a third-party as additional evidence.
Wise to be cautious here. On many occasions creditors have sucked money from innocent people and then laughed at them by saying it was just a contribution and the other 75% is still payable!
