LVNV Funding is sueing me for 5 year old defaulted Sears credit card. I know the debt is mine, and am willing/able to pay it, but have two concerns.
1- This card originally had a balance of $800. The lawsuit is requesting about $2,000. Is it feasible for me to request they settle for $1,000? Will they just turn me down and wait for a court date to try to get more? (I'm unemployed/ laid off, so I'm not sure if that would help me in negotiating)
2- I've read lots and lots about LVNV and the lawyers they use. What's the best way for me to take care of this?
