This is the second time asking this question. Hopefully, it'll get posted this time. I recently received within the last 2 weeks, a settlement offer from BofA to settle my debt at 50% and one from Citibank to settle for 25%. Is it unusual to receive a settlement offer so low from Citibank? I've never even fought or negotiated with them. Should I hold out on the BofA offer in order to settle for less than 50%?


Don't know who that person is who supposedly "settles" with Citibank at .70 on the dollar BUT I would jump on your offer. Citibank is very hard-nosed and will quickly initiate litigation. You can do better with Bank of America, especially closer to chargeoff. I settled for around 30%.

Rozo,

the Citibank offer seems great to me. I would jump on it and move on. Bank of America I think you can definitely get down lower than where they are at now. I would call them back and try to get someone on the phone who will work with you. I don't know how late you are on these but we settled BofA for 25% close to 180 days.

Good luck.
