Equations are derived describing the scattering of electrons by hydrogen-like ions when electron-electron correlation terms are added to the close-coupling expansion of the total wave function. The 1s, 2s and 2p terms are retained in the latter expansion, while up to sixteen correlation terms are retained in the former expansion. Provided the incident electron energy is insufficient to excite the third quantum level of the target the resultant solution satisfies a minimum principle. The numerical solution of the equations is discussed and results are presented for elastic and inelastic S-wave transitions in e--H and e--He+. Above the energy where the minimum principle applies it is possible to obtain physically significant results by varying a non-linear parameter in the wave function in order to avoid singularities in the solution.
