Don't pay the lump sum over unless and until it is accepted by the creditors!

Yeah I think I will follow both your advices and wait until the offer is accepted before I ask my mum to pay it. I don't think she would hand it over before hand anyways lol

Does anyone know how long it would take for an offer to be accepted? I'm with cleardebt of that helps, they did say they give creditors 28 days to respond so do you think it would any longer than a couple of months?

It should take a couple of weeks to draft the variation ( some firms take a little longer) then they have to give the 28 days notice to the creditors. The usual timescale from making the offer to your IP and the meeting is 2 - 3 months.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
