Short version>>>
It was the worst time of my life in 2006. I was ready to pay the collection accounts. Phone ringing 10x day. The collectors would not take my payment plan. Little did I know back then what I know NOW. In 2006, I stopped 6 collection agencies and eliminated $11k in about 2 months. At first, I did not think it would work. I am so thrilled to this day that my hard earned money did not go to any bottomfeeder. Oh and I had a major income loss in 2002. So the unexpected circumstance changed everything. And now my score is almost back to 700 this year.
