I called my credit card company today to offer a settlement. They told me they no longer owned the debt as of this month. I want to know if I should call the new owner of the debt today (they gave me the number and name) or wait for them to write and call me? Is there a way to make the old creditor take the debt back so I can settle with them?


You should wait until they contact you. If they call you, tell them they need to send you something in writing - it's required by law. If they send you notification of the debt, then you need to send them a debt validation letter so that you know exactly how much the debt is. Once they validate the debt, you can negotiate from there. In the meantime figure out how to get the money for settlement.

What credit card is this?

I successfully negotiated a 25% settlement with a collection agency for Bank of America. I was able to negotiate payment over 4 months.
