    But if he is reasonable and offers a sensible installment plan and sticks to it the company is unlikely to go for a CCJ. It's extra paperwork to get the same result. Unless of cause they are a massive corporation.
    I agree, I just wanted the OP to be aware of the possible outcome

    A. Do I have to pay?
    B. Would I be allowed to pay in installments?

    A. - I would say so yes.
    B. - That is up to them, but they don't have to accept.

    Oh, let me think...Cash the cheque then sue for the rest?!?:rotfl:

    Good luck going through court in 2 months. They'll be in possession of all the cheques by that time!

    How will mediation go? "I owe you the money and you'll have the final cheque next week".

    What the roboclaim centre in Nottingham? - if the OP fails to reply the court order could be issued in 3 weeks.

    Looks like we're just discussing the accrued interest on the late payments then. Plus their legal fees when the case inevitably doesn't go your way.

    Back in the real world... offer 3-6 installments. They really WON'T do any of the drastic measures some people feel obliged to discuss above.

    Even send them 6 dated cheques in the one go.

    I'm with glasgowdan, except the post-dated cheques bit, that has a bit of a history of going badly.

    If you post post dated cheques you are at the mercy of the solicitors and the bank not to process them. The bank will do no checks on the date on £100 cheques being presented.
