Is money order OK to send?
Also, if you dont send in the settle amount what can they do to you?

Have you thought about getting a prepaid visa or mastercard that they sell at like Walmart or Walgreens for this? Just a suggestion, that way you are only giving them that number and only allowing that money paid directly to them without the possibility of them getting anymore from you?

The prepaid visa is a good idea, just remember to never reload it as they will probably keep attempting to debit it, and you never know if their timing will take it before you can use it for whatever reason you'd need to use it again....

That's for sure, use it for that purpose and then destroy it. I don't know how much they cost but it might be worth the small amount that you have to pay for it just to get this place out of your hair.

But no matter what, make sure you call and keep checking up until you get that confirmation. I got screwed because I didn't check to make sure the right person got the information that I sent money! So make sure it needs to get to whomever wants it....And if no one's name is on it, then keep calling to make sure any rep you get a hold of can see it on the notes and see if a letter has been sent.

tweety, if you accept the "settlement", get a pre-paid card. Only put the exact amount of the "settlement" on it. Give them that card number for their payment. If you do not want to accept their settlement, what will they do? They will just "up" the amount you owe them a few hundred bucks (God, I love them). Whichever you decide. If you want to be rid of them, do the pre-paid card deal. If you feel as though they are unlicensed/illegal and don't want to settle, then they'll just "re-adjust" your amount owed and hound the hell out of you. I hate unlicensed/illegal pdls. And this is one of them. Whatever you decide, just let us know! :D

I think the pre-paid visa is the best idea, too. It protects your account information. Like Ladybug said, just be sure to cut it up and never use it again. The pre-paid visa is probably cheaper than moneygram. But, if you don't really have the settlement money or don't feel that it is a fair amount, I doubt there is anything that they can really do other than keep sending letters or calling. If it is going to put you into a bind financially, I wouldn't even think twice about not paying them right now. After all, they are not legal, anyway. It is more important to take care of yourself. :-)

CashCall had a deal with them and I got mine at like $6, but I know western union is around
$12, and they can go up depending on the amount. It cost almost 15 for Grandma to send me 50 once! So somewhere from 6-15+ dollars...
