What does "accredited to you" mean in the following sentence: Our first 15 minutes of consultation is at no charge, and beyond that time there will be a charge of $210 that could be accredited to you if you decided to proceed with the application?

"proceed with the application" for what? That detail might help you get a better response. – JTP - Apologise to Monica♦ Feb 14 '19 at 12:44

@BrianH It's for an initial consultation with a lawyer. Lawyers, unfortunately, can be very expensive. – dante Feb 14 '19 at 18:39

It means that the writer is using words that he doesn't understand. It should be "credited".
The intent is to say that the $210 that is charged for the consultation can be applied toward your future costs, if you proceed with the application.

2Thus lowering my future costs by the amount of the consultation ($210) should I proceed with the application? – dante Feb 14 '19 at 11:41

1@Glen, no if the amount is credited to you, it reduces what you have to pay. – prl Feb 14 '19 at 16:21

I should have been more clear. If you do not proceed, they will charge you $210. If you do proceed, they wil still charge you the $210, but might reduce the application fee by that amount. – Glen Pierce Feb 14 '19 at 18:21
