  • maybe it would be worth finding out what instalments they'd accept? you could use the lump sum you're offering to pay off the first couple whilst putting some money together for the next ones..etc...? also, you may be able to make a little extra money somewhere along the line to pay if off in full eventually?

    also, i think a partial payment as f&f still shows on your credit record as a default?

    Canada are quite strict about visas and such, so i would've preferred to get it sorted before then, to be honest.

    Yep, pay it off in full in installments and learn from this. Running away from debt should never be the solution.
