Is there anything stopping me from deciding to assess a collection agency, or even and original creditor a handling fee for dealing with them? Say I send a notice each contact (written or telephonic) will be assessd a fee of $25.00.

We all know they will probably laught at it and try not to pay it. But then after 30 days, turn it over to an agency (E-max a.k.a. collect edge) says they won't charge a fee if they don't collect.

Maybe its just a pipe dream, but why couldn't a person do it?

Interesting, but wouldn't that be kinda like charging the IRS for your time to prepare and mail your tax return?

I don't think it will fly, but very creative!

it can never hurt to try.

it's like an attorney to ask the judge to drop all charges against the defendant for drinking and driving, because it's her first offense.

she said I won't drop charges, but I'll lower it from OUIL, to wreckless endangerment.

I was shocked! This happened to my friend, she has no DUI on her record...but she did have to attend the classes and whatnot.

Soo....we can ask for $100/per hour to communicate with these people, but might only get $500 off our debt.

who knows...it can't hurt to try.
