Yeah that is the problem. A verbal contract is legally binding but a bastard to prove. I actually have a letter from CitiBank that basically says "We have looked into your claim and decided that you cannot prove our representative promised you that, so we are not going to honour his promise."

The other side only has to go back to court to get it enforceable, then you get his legal fees for the second court appearance added on to the bill and they can attach your earnings (i.e. until the debt is discharged, including all legal costs and interest at 2% above Barclay's base rate; your boss becomes obliged to pay your salary to the courts, they send you the minimum they consider necessary for you to live on, then the rest goes towards paying what you owe).
