    I would...

    • Deposit the cheque in your account.
    • Calculate and 'put to one side' the tax you'll need to pay on the interest.
    • Speak to CCCS and explain what's happened - they will usually be able to help you with offering full & finals to the debtors. Otherwise they can portion out the money equally.

    With a bit of good luck you may be able to get it all paid off if the debtors are willing to accept low full & final offers.

    Good luck!
