    Sorry, I didn't spot this post to reply to it...
    1. They paid my costs. (£12k ish)
    2. They paid most of what they owed.
    3. They paid interest.

    I wasn't celebrating, I was just stating the fact that I got an interview, fact which looked like you had missed. No biggie.

    I'm still waiting for feedback but chances are I'll get an offer.

    Without the shadow of a doubt. You've got away from a situation than could easily have ended badly and can still. Keep your head down and walk away as fast as possible.
