Anyone good at maths?!
I'm just filling out my online application and am coming to th epart where I enter the particulars using the template from this site, but, I accepted a payment of goodwill. How do I re-calculate the charges?
Here are the exact details
Original Figure £797.91
Interest £ 81.91
Gesture of goodwill payment £ 280.00
Anyone help?

Please tell me that it wasn't offered as a "full and final settlement". If it was, you cannot continue to claim the rest.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.

No, it was a "gesture of goodwill" and I have that in writing!0

Phew!
As the goodwill payment isn't based on any individual charges, you simply deduct it from the total. I make it £797.91 charges + £ 81.91 interest - £280.00 goodwill = £599.82.
Obviously, let the bank and court know whats happening.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.0 -
