If its with westcott then try starting at 30%, that way you can potentially work up to 45%. Have you got a template letter? If not have a look on the national debtline factsheet - http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/factsheet.php?page=24_full_and_final_settlement_offers
Thanks Tixy, ive used the template and have done my letter, have offered £170 so will post that in the morning and see how I get on.
How long does it normally take to get a reply?Sealed Pot Challenge member #982

It doesnt have the frosting on the top but it tastes delicious without and you could always do your own frosting if you wanted to.Sealed Pot Challenge member #982
