  • You don't have to speak to them as you've got the bank details to pay, so just pay the £52 and wait for their next move.

    Chances are they'll come back and say it was a mistake and they want the other £2700, but you never know.
  • Hi,

    Made payment of £52.22

    Fingers crossed.

    Regards Simon

    Good luck - hope you have a positive outcome from this. It would be fantastic if they have settled it for such a small sum.
