    This was a "Buy now, Pay later" deal with a retailer.

    You get the item without paying and as long as you pay the full purchase price within the agreed 6 or 9 months it is interest-free. If you miss the date, even if you only have a few quid outstanding, interest gets charged retrospectively from the date of purchase.

    Rats, I wanted that. I'll take 69p instead.

    I'll go for 0p on the basis they might just write it off.

    I guess Halifax can afford to be generous after being bailed out by Lloyds!

    Thanks for coming back and letting people know.

    I had a small balance write off once with Natwest, quite a few years ago now, but it was under 20p IIRC.

    More recently had a 74p bill from my M&S card, which I thought might be treated the same. Felt a bit silly, making a debit card payment for such a small amount lol.
