I have been dealing with BOA for a few weeks now. I settled 47k on 2 of their cards for 28%. They said on the phone that they will take 3 pmts., that they will fax me a letter with the agreement & that it is going to be reported as "paid as agreed". I got tired of waiting for the letter so I consulted with a couple of attys. who advised me to file chapter 7bk. I do not want to file bk, so I called BOA to tell them that since they never faxed me the letter I had not put the money in the bank to make the 1st payment.
