    Do you have property with equity?

    Probably best to remake your offer in writing.

    Plus point out when doing so this is all you can afford, and that you would not be able to pay any more even if they did take legal action.

    When you made this verbal offer did you start making the payments that you verbally offered.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • No I haven't made any payments to them they said they would get back to me with an answer regarding my offer but nothing happened !

    In the past no payments were missed as far as I know
