    Thank you. They are seeing a solicitor outside of Age concern now, to discuss next steps if it goes to court here. In the meantime, we are doing as Debtline advises and re-iterating our offer and starting payments with immediate effect.

    My father has also arranged an appointment at the bank just to get some advice from them if possible.

    Sounds good

    Though I'd be cautious about advice from a bank. I'm not sure in what areas a bank employee would be knowledgeable
