You go for a job which is advertised as salary negotiable.
At the interview, you state what you would like, and you also state your bottom line.
You are verbally offered the job starting at your bottom line, meeting you halfway after about three months with the potential to go to your desired salary later on.
You agree in principle to this but when the formal offer (in writing) arrives it states salary as per verbal agreement of which you have no evidence....
How would you respond?

Sadly it was a one-on-one interview, with no notes, only hypotheticals

Nedster, I know you're right..but I have been caught like this before, and at the end of the day they denied all knowledge.
Deep down I don't trust them so...I'm not going to take the job

If they are not willing to put the actual amount into the formal offer of employment, then I would re-consider taking the position. Any reputable company is not going to state "as per verbal agreement". I have never seen an offer of employment that didn't state the starting salary, you also want to make sure it clearly indicates what the agreement is on your desired salary after 3 months, as I mentioned if they are not willing to do so, then I would seriously re-consider my options about taking this position.
Good luck :)

If any in principle offer was made it should be on the interview paperwork, all of the relevant information that was given at interview needs to be there for purposes of equal oppurtunities.
Ask them to confirm the starting point of salary in writing and the mid-point at three months with any further increases to be confirmed too.
Re- your additional comment. If there are no notes then they should honour your agreement. Not taking notes is their problem. And the letter you have states that a verbal offer was made. That constitutes a contract.
Good luck!

Ask them to put the amount in writing

Definately ask them to put it in writing. Some people can be quite sneaky.
