I talked with CCCA yesterday about my payday loans. They are wanting to sign me up with the law firm of Richard Brennan for debt settlement. They will be sending me a packet in the mail, and we set up a payment to be taken out of my new checking account on October 2 so the lawyer can begin contacting the pdl's and arranging a settlement. After reading some info in this forum I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing. Seems like many have had bad dealings with the Brennan firm. In addition, I have some pdl fee's scheduled to be taken out on Sept.

Anyone dealt with Gerald E. Moore and Assoc.? They contacted me about a valid credit card bill. They coerced my banking info out of me then I called back and wanted validation. They said they would send it...but didn't. I stopped payment on everything they attempted to withdraw and eventually closed the account. I will send them a debt validation letter and also ask them to quit calling my work.

I have over 60,000 in unsecured debt mostly credit cards. Do you think I am better with debt settlement or a cccs agency. I have looked into both. The cccs repayment is alot more but seems like the "right" way to do things. I have been up to date until lately. Now I am getting behind and want to do something before it gets totally out of control. :cry:

Does anyone know who would be calling from (800)527-3369?

I just joined the forum today in the hope of having some new answers or ideas. I am seriously in debt. I can not afford even the minimum monthly payment on my unsecured debt and the percentage rates on my credit cards are outrageous! I saw a credit counselor two days ago and, after evaluating my situation, he recommended that I simply stop paying on my accounts.

Does anyone know this number?

Can you receive debt consolidation even if your bills are not in collection yet?

My sister thought she was helping a friend 9 years ago when she cosigned a state student loan (not Federal), though my sister claims her friend misreprented the form (she thought it was for a reference). The borrower never paid the loan, now the collection agency is threatening to take us to court. Can they do this? The debt is from 1997, there is little documentation including what the amount of the loan is. The loan application says it was to be used in 1997, but the money was given out in 2001.

I received notification that the plaintiff, a store front PDL, filed a dismissal on the suit that they had brought against me. The judge signed it...Case Dismissed! For my personal life this is a victory. For my aspirations of setting a precedent in my state, it is not a victory. Ah well, maybe next time!
