Seems the old guy eventually did the right thing but ffs the PR lady should have just cashed the cheque and ended this whole thing.

"Alan Barnes had sent Claire Barber a cheque towards the debts on October 20
Claire refused to cash cheque on the grounds that she felt Alan had been pressurised into it and also said the debt is Katie’s to pay, not Alan’s."

Interview with Alan Barnes

Alan Barnes gave Claire Barber a cheque for £6,100. Ms Barber had told Alan to write the cheque for £6,100. It was Alan’s idea, he said, as a way to try and settle the dispute.
He said: “I thought somebody must do something here, I’ve got to do something otherwise it’s going to get worse and worse.

”Claire Barber said it wasn’t my bill to pay but she accepted it.

“They can say what they like, but I still did it my way. The way I wanted it done [on why he gave Barber the cheque and not Cutler].”
