Hi everyone...hopefully someone can help. Today I received a letter from Island National Group LLC for a debt that I owe to Bank of America. The total debt to Bank of America is $950.21. The letter I received is offering to take $96 off my past due balance and if I pay by June 27, they will double my payment. In other words, if I pay them $427.10 the account will be satisfied in full.

Can anyone give me advice? Should I take advantage of this but also make a copy of the correspondence? Help! I want to pay this off and this sounds like a good deal!!!


Novice,

Well, the OP has just stated that they know it is their debt. The validation is not just a stall tactic - it's there for people who do not think it is their debt or if they have added a bunch of fees, etc., to the debt. (And that's a darn cute kitty on your avatar, I don't think I mentioned that before...)


Hi brianr446,

Welcome to the Community!

It is very fortunate that you have this offer on paper. This company is terrible and it is best not to antagonize them unless you are prepared for a battle. See these threads for more info: RJM Acquisitions and Island National Group LLC and Island National Group,

Since you have it in writing it is solid.

That is a pretty decent deal and if you can pay it, go ahead (and yes, send a photocopy of the correspondence with the payment). Request a Paid & Closed letter be sent to you right away. Do NOT send a check, but a money order. (DO *NOT* GIVE THEM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT INFO!!) Photocopy the entire money order for your records. Preferably, you should get a Postal money order so you can get a timely copy of the canceled money order (you may need it later - this CA is dishonest) for your records. Also photocopy the letter you send them. Send it Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested (it will cost around $3 or so). Keep the green card in your records when you get it back.

SAVE these records. If the scenario mentioned in the Forums I linked above, then you can easily sue them for $1000 plus possible court costs and attorney fees.

Good luck and keep us posted!
