Hi, how is an offer of Full and Final settelment accepted , is it put to a vote or do all creditors have to agree for it to go ahead and do you have to have a reason rather than just a really generous friend wanting to help you out ?

Hi Andy and welcome to the forum

You will generally need to get creditor acceptance to an offer of early settlement - and you do not need a reason so long as the offer being made is similar to that originally offered. As with the original proposal you will need to secure a 75% voting majority on the day of the creditors meeting.

Good luck if this option is currently available to you.

My understanding is that it is 75% of those that vote on the day - not sure what HMRC's voting history is like, but i know they are being challenged to ensure they maximise the returns from people that owe them.
