Hello,
I am receiving letters in regards to 2 credit cards that were charged off within the last few months. A tragedy occurred in my family and I was not able to pay and completely ignored everything like an idiot. I owe about $1,600 total, not too bad. I have about $800 from my tax refund and am willing to pay this, how do I negotiate them down? I owe about $1,050 on one and $550 on another. This seems ridiculous since the total credit limit and both cards together was only $1,050. How do I go about offering them a lowered amount?
How long can I wait before they threaten to sue?
