Section 75 Do I have to pay balance on the card

Hello. 
I have a section 75 claim with Santander. My statement says paymeny during 7 days. Do I pay the minimum amount? They say I should pay the full balance now. 
Thanks.

    A section 75 claim doesn't grant immunity from paying the disputed amount if the bill is due, so if you don't pay it in full then you'll incur interest (and other charges if you pay nothing at all).  If your claim is upheld, you might have an argument that they should also reimburse any interest paid on the disputed amount though....
