Where do I go Next ???

18 years 6 months ago
I have about $60,000 in credit card debt, confused I spoke with my creditor BOA, they will put me on a program sounds great 5 years paid but the payment is double what i can afford. I am current with all other bills, BOA is only 60 days past due. I have a recent lost of income that put me in this spot. I can't sleep at night, my credit was always perfect now all my creditors are lowering my available credit and raising my interest. My concern with dettlement is the 1099 form to the IRS - I would have to claim $30,000 I settled at half. Also the 15% fee they charge you ???

My response from the NY AG

Ok guys, I rushed home so I could share my response to the complaints I submitted against Oneclickcash and United Cash Loans. Here goes: "On behalf of Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, I am writing to notify you that we have received and reviewed your complaint. It is the policy of the Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Frauds and Protection to intervene in an individual consumer dispute if we believe our mediation might help bring about a resolution.

 

Settlement offers

18 years 6 months ago
I have a fairly small amount of debt (around 6000) that I am currently in a position to start paying off. Many of the collection agencies I am speaking with are offering me settlements lower than what i actually owe. Of course i am tempted to pay the lower amounts, but i am unsure if i should. Will paying less to close the account adversely affect my credit rating? I've also heard of collection agencies selling the remainder to another agency. Any truth to this?

Middle class and stuck with no options

18 years 6 months ago
Hi Everyone - I'm hoping someone can give me some feedback on our situation, as it seems it's a unique one. We are a middle class family with a combined income of $80,000 living in the midwest. We have a total credit card debt of $3000, a house payment, home equity payment, 1 vehicle payment a monthly insurance payment and utilities. Doesn't sound like much. Our problem is that, due to poor habits, we have fallen behind, but we are so behind we cannot catch up. It's been a vicious cycle now for *four* years!

 

middle class without options

18 years 6 months ago
We are a middle class family (probably lower middle class) with a combined income of $80,000 living in the midwest. We have a total credit card debt of $3000, a house payment, home equity payment, 1 vehicle payment and utilities. Doesn't sound like much...but we cannot crawl out from under the creditors. It's tearing us up. We are 2 months late on both the house and car and our credit score is in the 500's. We cannot seem to crawl out of this whole. When our budget is on paper, it looks great. But never seems to work out that way.

 

Anyone working with NY AG

I can't believe what I got in the mail today from the NY AG. I sympathized with your difficulty. However, we cannot assist consumers in setting up more suitable payment plans. Then they go on to enclose consumer budget counseling in my area. I'm devastated - I realize I couldn't go on any further the way I was but I was convinced by reading posts on here that at the very least I had a legal leg to stand on. I called and spoke to someone who suggested maybe I need a new complaint with different wording.
