How much of a discount? it will depend on how much you can afford.not much you can either make an offer yourself, or talk to us about your affordability first so we can offer you a discounted amount.
CAN I PAY THIS OFF OVER A FEW MONTHS? yes,if this is the right plan for you.
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT MY CREDIT FILE? if this account is on your credit file we will update your credit file to show partially-settled with the amount set to nil sounds good go set it to nil this will show that the amount has been paid off but at a smaller amount.
MONTHLY REPAYMENT PLAN
How much will I have to pay?
