    Hi,

    You write back to the bank and tell you you are accepting this payment as part payment without prejudice to your claim and you will be persuing the claim via the court or the ombudsman (whichever you choose) for the remainder of the money owed to you.

    See the thread below on refusing goodwill gestures which should be of help to you :)
