Bank of america/FIA

17 years ago
I have a credit card for students thru Bank of America. Without telling me, they sold me account to FIA card services. I lost my job, i informed FIA once they started calling me that I would send them what I could. The lady told me even if I send in 11 dollars a month, everything would be fine. I sent them 30 dollars, which I had to bum loose change off of everyone I know just to do that.

 

How likely are lawsuits during settlement periods?

17 years ago
So after racking up about $14k in credit card debt I signed up with Superior Debt Services and am in the process of getting everything fixed. Right now I'm not too concerned with my credit scores or anything, but am most worried about a lawsuit while in the program..since it'll be a good 6-8 months before the first account is settled (of three total). SDS claims that lawsuits are "rare", but how rare is rare--and in what instances are they taken in?

 

Can you change your phone# to a GOphone# before entering Debt Program?

17 years ago
I am about to enter debt management in the next few days with Superior Debt Relief. I am wondering if I should get a Go Phone at Radio Shack and call all my creditors and change my home number to this. Then I could unlist my current phone number. Has anyone tried this? I want to avoid the 4 calls a day prior to starting. I am current on my bills now so they are not calling. But they soon will be. Any thoughts? Connie

 

PDL and bank disputes

What if anything can be done through your bank beyond thier 60 day dispute process for the illegal ACH debits that illegal PDL companies may have taken from your account. After researching this forum, I ordered copies of my bank statements for the time period that I took out several PDL's. In doing the numbers discoverd that I had overpaid the principle due to the numerous debits they had made. The bank said I can only dispute before 60 days is up. Ideas????

Closed Bank Account Debt in Chapter 13

17 years ago
My bank will close my account soon because it is so overdrafted. Do I include that debt in my Chapter 13 and does it make any difference at all if your account is closed or open for any type of debt when filing bankruptcy?
