Dealing with AMEX

15 years 5 months ago
After reading through a good portion of the articles as well as a number of the forums on this website, I've determined that my best strategy is to try to get a settlement for my outstanding balances on three cards: an AMEX Blue card, a card with Chase, and a card with BofA. I am a little over 60 days late on my AMEX Blue card. I've called AMEX a couple times to keep them informed of my financial situation and of why I can't pay right now.

 

College Girl With No Health Insurance

15 years 5 months ago
My daughter is college aged and unemployed. Her medical bills are $12,000 and collection agencies are trying to collect. Daughter moved out of state, two months ago, but the bills keep coming to my address. Most of the bills will be SOL, in her new residence state, within two years. In this state, where she moved from, the SOL won't expire for four more years. Her new residence state does not allow garnishment. I did not co-sign to pay her medical bills. They can't sue me, can they? Is it likely that they sue my daughter, and get a judgement even though they can't collect?

I have two collection agencies calling but neither are showing up on my credit report. I have four collection accts on my report now that I am trying to pay off first. Should I pay the other two even though they aren't showing up?

IL PLS Store Front Wage Assignment

15 years 5 months ago
Hi Guys! I'm new to this forum and it's been a blessing with all the info found here so far. I made the unfortunate mistake of getting an installment loan at a PLS in IL. There was a 4 total loans broken down in $500 dollar increments and I was told it had to be this way as they could not lend more than $500 at a time. I paid a total of $750 before I fell behind due to illness. They have sent a wage assignment to my employer and have so far taken out a total of $1050 dollars. Total I have paid them $1800 of the original $2000 a borrowed.

wage garnishment question

15 years 5 months ago
I found this site a few weeks ago, posted about my situation and have been reading, reading, reading. So much information. Thanks to everyone who shares. My husband and I are not over 30 days late with Chase, Citi, Discover and BofA. It is scary but we just couldn't do the minimum payments anymore. My job hours were cut 2 years ago and then I finally was laid off last year. Our mortgage and car payment are current and we plan to keep it that way. The Chase (2 accts) and Citi accounts are in my name only.

HSBC called DH 2x at work today, 2 wks late

15 years 5 months ago
Our payment was due on the 14th and they called my husband 2x today. I talked with Chase and told them we couldn't make our payment this month and they connected me with a credit counselor which is not the route we want to take since we don't forsee much change in our situation in the very near future. Also talked with Discover. They said we could make $40 pymt instead of $80 payment for 6 months, but would close our account. Told them I'm not sure if we could send a payment. So I wonder if HSBC knows about that. 2 weeks late seems early for phone calls like that.
