Best Pay Profits

If you’ve been a victim of credit card harassment by a debt collector, you may decide to negotiate a debt settlement to make it all stop. Before negotiating debt settlements with a debt collector, you should make every effort to ensure that the debt is actually yours, and that you have an obligation to pay it. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act states that, within five days of first contacting you, the debt collector must send you a notice that tells you the name of the creditor and the amount owed. With that information, you can determine whether you actually owe the money or not. If you believe that the debt is not valid, the FDCPA gives you 30 days to file a debt dispute letter.

If the debt is valid, you may decide to try and negotiate a settlement arrangement with the debt collector. If you decide to try negotiating debt settlements, there are several things you should know.

You Hold the Upper Hand When Negotiating Debt Settlements

Many third party debt collectors purchase old debts for just a few cents on the dollar. Most of what they collect from consumers is pure profit for the collection agency, so you have a lot of leverage to work out a settlement for far less than the face value of the debt.

In addition, collection agencies know that taking you to court to get payment of the debt will cost them money – often more than it’s worth. In some cases, the debt they’re trying to collect has passed the statute of limitations, so legal action isn’t even an option. In either case, you have more leverage. They’d rather collect a fraction of the face value than risk more money going after you in court.
