2 credit cards charged off, now want to pay them off

19 years ago
2 credit cards totaling about $3000. I have money to pay them but I want those negative items removed completely or changed to something positive. Which of these are best or is there something better? Paid charged-off Account paid in full How do I push them for complete removal of negative item? If I tell them I won't pay unless they agree to remove it, can they sue me for refusing to pay the debt or extortion? I don't want to give them my checking account, I should arrange to send them a cashier's check?

When the original debt collector sells your debt account, can the original, the collection agency, and the third collection agency all three report it on your credit report as three separate debts by three different companies. Is it legal for them to do this?

I've been doing alot of research since I first logged onto this site. I found a law called "Electronic Funds Act" Among many things it "prohibits requiring electronic access to an account a condition of granting credit" And "Prohibits financial institution from requiring you to repay a loan by electronic transfer" Found info on www.ftc.gov. It also list who you can file complaints against if you feel your rights are being violated.

 

a question about verification

19 years ago
Hello I've been dealing, if you want to call it that, with the collection agency "allied interstate," which seems to be an ongoing topic here. I asked them in writing to verify a debt from American Express. About two months after I requested it, I got a package from American Express, showing the history of the debt, but nothing saying that they had turned it over to Allied interstate.

Update on Mom

19 years ago
Hi everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been around much over the past couple of weeks. Between mom, work, and family, I barely have anytime for me these days but we're all doing okay. We had the life scared out of us a couple of weeks ago when mom's oncologist told us that it was possible the cancer had spread and could have gotten into her blood stream. :cry: Of course, we had to wait over a week to hear the GOOD NEWS! The tumor was bigger than expected but it was still contained. There was nothing in her blood stream, her liver, lungs, everything looked clear.
