Do debt consolidation companies pay off credit cards that are already in the hands of a law firm/collector?

Chase filed a law suit against mу husband fοr a delinquent credit card. Hе never hаd tο gο tο court bυt thеу (thе law firm) wanted $300/mt until thе card wаѕ paid οff. Wе′re still paying οn іt аnd іt’s a hυgе budget buster! Wе οnlу hаνе a few οthеr outstanding/low amount bills. I wаѕ wondering іf debt consolidation companies wουld consolidate thіѕ Chase bill аѕ well ѕο wе саn gеt thеѕе people out οf ουr lives!

    You do not necessarily need a debt consolidation company to make deals with creditors. Contact Chase with a reasonable offer.
    Tell them if they and a few others do not make respond favorably, you will file bankruptcy (threat not to carry out).

    well you could borrow the money from some other source the source would make a check payable to chase and the other folks you owe money to — but do not fall in the trap a lot of folks do!!! the are out of debt except for this one big debt and than they take there credit cards and go on a spending junket!!!

    The truth is: no.

    You have 2 options: First, a loan (either a personal loan or refinance a mortgage if you are a home-owner) and you will not qualify based on credit in your situation.

    Second, a debt resolution program like credit counseling or debt settlement. Neither would be ideal since you don’t have a lump sum contribution to settle and the account is already in a stipulated judgment status.

    You are best off just calling the law firm and negotiating for a one time settlement directly with them. Assume it will be somewhere between 80%-100% of what you owe.
