Advice on accepting good will gesture?

Hi,

I started proceedings through MCOL with Lloyds, I received a letter from Lloyds (not SC&M) offering me £519 as a good will gesture. I am happy to take this and end the court proceedings, how do I go about doing this?

Thanks

Russ

    Follow the instructions in the letter to accept. Cross out any confidentiality clause. Wait until you have the money cleared in your account. Write to MCOL/Local court and let them know the matter has been settled to your satisfaction.

    Remember once you have accepted this a full settlement in respect of these charges, you cannot claim the remainder at a later date.

    There were no instructions in the letter, they told me they were giving it to me and the money was in my account the next day

    Do I have to write to SC&M to tell them I am accepting the £519 that Lloyds put in as full payment?
