    Well phoned B'card they want 9000 to settle i cant give them that wish i could. I have a feeling i have made a massive mistake changing jobs i got hardly any wages this month so i have had it cant pay my cards anything other than a £1 they are sending 2 accounts to other collections departments. I have composed this letter anyone any thoughts ? Also how do i add that my payments will be token payments of £1.
    My SOA says i am minus £250
    I write with reference to the money which you are claiming on the above accounts.

    I can confirm that I am unable to offer to pay the money which I owe in full. My wages have dramatically decreased due to a change in job I have attached a copy of my SOA . However, a family member will loan me £5500 on the one condition all 3 accounts are closed and I want to offer this as an ex-gratia payment in full and final settlement of the account. This offer is made on the clear understanding that, if accepted, neither you nor any associate company will take any other action to enforce or pursue this debt in any way whatsoever and that I will be released from any liability.

    I also request that, if accepted, you will make an entry on a credit reference agency file relating to the above account as having been paid and the account closed.

    Payment can be made within 7 days of receiving your written agreement of this offer and method of payment.

    I look forward to receiving your reply.

    Yours faithfully
