    They can take the money you owe them from the money they owe you.

    Hello @nancey246. They don't always take backdated money but they can. Have they told you they're sending it to debt management? 
    Some people have success contacting debt management and explaining their circumstances, so they reject the money and you continue paying back at the agreed on plan.
