Default due to drop off next month, currently paying small amounts to “law firm” each month. As it stands the debt would be cleared in 10 years wondering if it would be good idea to make a settlement offer?

    If you have the funds, why not?

    Do it in writing, start low, use the National Debtline template

    If this is a Consumer Credit Act debt, do a formal  s77-9CCA request first. Again, ND have a template
