How do I choose the best way to get out of debt?

18 years 7 months ago
As the saying goes, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me three times well that means I am just stupid. Unfortunately I am on the fool me twice part of this saying. You see back in 2000 my Wife and I filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy, after years of irresponsible spending in our twenties we were at a point where we could not continue to move forward without loosing our shirt. How did this happen to us, we were ashamed and most of all we had a little an almost 2 year old baby in our home, we needed to make some changes and get out of debt.

 

Sonic Payday Again & Again

18 years 7 months ago
Ok, forum. Listen up! Sonic finally contacted my HR and payroll department. Sent a letter wanting my employer to confirm: ss # title address last time I got paid and guess who sign the letter? Mandeep Bruce. The most unfriendly, unhuman, nasty, etc., I have ever spoken on the phone. Then to top it off, the address states in Malta. My HR person ask where the hell is Malta, I told her Ireland. She said, Ireland. They are do bussiness in the US. I said yeah, they are illegal and dont accept payment arrangements because they dont have an office in the US. She said dont pay them then.

 

making payment arrangements, need advice

18 years 7 months ago
Here's what's happening here. I have an account in collections, that was with NCO. It's an Amex. I sent Amex and NCO a settlement proposal letter, and also informed them that all communication must be by mail. I received one phone call from my collection agent after that who told me that I needed to call her back to discuss it, and I did not. She never called again. I kept up payments, and made the payments I proposed in the debt settlement letter, and received nothing else in the mail. My debt was passed to a different collection agency.

 

Judment on credit report if paid immediately?

18 years 7 months ago
Maybe this is in the wrong section since by this time one might be dealing with the courts. The situation is this : CA sues debtor, CA wins at trial, debtor pays amount of judgement in full at that time. In this situation, does the judgement still go on the debtor's credit report?

 

Partial Validation

18 years 7 months ago
I sent off validation letters to two agencies on the 23th of last month. I received both cards back showing receipt on the 24th and 25th. I received a response from one of them today. That only contained my original loan agreement. Here's the problem. Both my ex and I took out loans for truck driving school. One in his name, one in mine. I co-signed on his to push it through (it was my way of getting out of a bad situation). I went to great lengths to get mine paid off. I assumed the one they were trying to collect on was his, since he died last year.

 

Richard Brennon

Ricahrd Brennon just called me back and recommended me American credit counseling Incorporated. He said he only does debt settlement which negatively affects your credit. He said no money goes to him when you are cutting interest on cards which is called debt reconstruction. He was very helpful and did not recommend any other organizations. I was very pleased because he seem to have helped me out. Sorry for those that said they got ripped off na dhope everything works out.

Ricahrd A Brennon, RTC Corp, Freedom for today

18 years 7 months ago
I about got scammed by brennon but found this website the day I signed up with rtc corp that refereed me to brennon, smith and associates. First I paid freedom for today 599.00 to reduce my interest rates. It took two months to get the paper work so I disputed the charge on my credit card and got my money back. Then I decided to go ahead and send the paperwork i finally recieved back to them just to see what would happened. I was referred to RTC corp in which they were the ones that got me signed up with brennon, smith and associates.
