My wife has a debt with Capital One and it was send to Nelson Watson for collection. They originally bullied and scared her over the phone to give them our check account info, I canceled the account and send them a notice to only contact us via mail and send a validation of debt letter. I sent the letter certified return mail on 9-7-10 and just received the validation from them on 10-12-10. My question is what should I offer them, because I know they will reject the first offer. The debt is for only $3500 and they originaly offered to settle for $2500.

I was thinking about offering 30% of the total debt, but I am not sure if that is a good idea.

If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it

Mike


Just add to the bottom of your letter "Agreed to and signed by ______________________________ (authorized representative) and a date." Have them return the letter to you, signed at the bottom. OR, if you prefer to attach a letter of agreement, you basically just put down the terms of your agreement, as outlined in your letter, on a second page with a place for signature and date at the bottom.

I was also wondering what sort of a payment date I should put. I don't want to put a date on the letter to pay by and them not sending me the signed copy of the aggreement and not leaving me enough time to get them the payment.
