I called the creditors I owe a debt to. The amount is 5,000 and I cannot pay that much. They said I can settle for half. They also let SLIP that I might not have to pay that much if I contact the people I owe to. Well, that’s going to be difficult because the company has been bought by someone else and the new company knows nothing about it.
But the money has to be paid to someone, right? I told them I’m going to contact the person I owe to to make sure I owe the right amount. They told me that by the end of the month my file will be moved to the legal department for further action unless I put $20 down. I told them I just paid my bills and have no money to give up for this month.
I don’t know if they’re bluffing. But I find it rather convient it’s going to the “legal department” after 5 years of no contact at the end of THIS month. They know the name of my work, my address, & # at this point. I honestly want to pay them what I can, but I don’t want them to garnish my wadges or anything drastic before we can reach a reasonable settlement. I want to get rid of this quickly. I’ve managed to get myself a decent job, house, and I want to clear my debt. Should I just go through a consolidator or should I keep trying to negotiate at this point?
please no, “That’s you get” answers. It’s a life lesson well learned.
