    Late payment - tough, but they will probably happy to wait.

    No payment at all, debt collectors, default, ccj.

    You signed a contract to pay them,
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Ouch :mad: that's 53.9% to post a letter :(
    You could try telling them they will get their payment when you get it. I doubt they will push it too far for the amount in question but they are a mercenary bunch.
    If you have got full redress part of it will be 8% standard interest, that is taxable so you could lose even more of it. Sorry to put a damper on your success, sorry THEIR success but getting hooked up with them is never good :(
