I am being offered a settlement on a credit card, by a collection agency. I have been making payments by bank draft, for 2 yrs. They are offering a settlement of 30% on the balance. Collector is telling me that the account my no longer be "in the office", in the near future, and that if that happens, the interest will be added back into the amount owed. I think she is under pressure to close as many accounts as possible by the end of yr. I she being truthful about the interest? Our last conversation ended with, how much do you think you could pay. Meaning something less than 30%.

Please tell us something about yourself?
I grew up in a lower income family that had cupboards full of generic food, government food and my parents would occasionally get money from the church to help out. I didn't understand this until I was much older as they just kept it to themselves. I lived a happy childhood not feeling that I was missing anything (We didn't have a tv until they caved when I was a teenager).
