Once a debt is settled

17 years ago
Paid an agreed upon amt to a creditor last wk. Did not get it in writing. This collector assured me that no other collection activity would go forward on the acct. A wk later, I recieve a letter in the mail for the entire amt! I contacted these people and spoke to a man at first, and before I could fully engage him in conversation, he hung up on me! called again and spoke to a woman. She stated that bill was not paid and that I owed the remaining balance and then she goes, Oh, wait...this acct was settled, you can disregard the letter.

Question about Perkins loan

17 years ago
I have an old defaulted Perkins loan that it not showing up on my credit report anymore. I am consolidating my Stafford loans and paying on the graduated plan. I just started doing that so I can still add the Perkins loan to my consolidation. It says to be able to add it to my consolidation loan I need to be on the Income contigent plan because it is a defaulted loan, but I would rather stay on the graduated plan. I read on the site that if I make 3 satisfactory payments to the school I can keep on the graduated plan.

I am confused and really hoping someone can help

17 years ago
I had some internet pay day loans that were not licensed to operate in my state. (I checked this out with the Dept. of Finance in my state.) I wrote the pay day loan people the certified letters. After some unpleasant phone calls they quit calling. Now about 3 months later I have gotten a bill from a collection agency concerning on of these unlicesed/illegal internet payday lenders. Do I have to now pay the collection agency if the collection agency is licensed by my state? This particular payday lender collected $900.00 on a $300.00 loan.

 

CA has told me she is going to put me on my husband's bill....

17 years ago
On my husband's credit report was a medical collection for $500.00. We didn't know what it was for, so I called the collection company. It's Northwest Collection. When I called they told me when it was billed, how much the insurance paid and then demanded a credit card. When I said I wanted to look into this the woman told me that she was going to put me on the bill as well and she could do that in the state of Illinois. Then she told me that I shouldn't bother calling back without a credit card. Can she just put me on the bill like that?

BofA - 1st offer

17 years ago
I currently have a card with BofA with about 8000 balance on it that is almost 90 days past due. Today I was told the lowest they could go if I wanted to settle was 3400 but I said that was too high. They offered their hardship program, which would lower my rate to 7.25% (it is currently over 27%) for 5 years and with a payment of 170/mo. I told her I was not interested in that because I want to get out from under all this debt and move on towards rebuilding my credit - paying them for another 5 years would still affect my credit score that entire time.
