Verifiedchristhelawyer : HiWelcome to JustAnswer. My first response will follow shortly. Please feel free to follow up if anything is not clear
christhelawyer : Inland Revenue are restrained by direction from the government as to what concessions they can make on payments and writing off penalties. So what they have offered to you is the limit of what they can offer, and is typical of the sort of discussion.
christhelawyer : Here is no time limitation for seeking recovery of the loan and therefore you do not have many options, other than payment or negotiating a payment programme.
christhelawyer : Some end up going bankrupt to end the obligation, but this can be a serious step.
