      This guy is nothing but an instructor on how to steal. He says these collection agencies "harass" the debtor with phone calls. Well, of course they do! You are a deadbeat and you owe someone money and you refuse to pay. I'd like to see how this tattooed thief would react if someone owed him money and they refused to repay. I submit that he would not be too happy and would do whatever it took to get his scratch back. Lowlife.

    I did collection for Chase Bank back in the day and this dude is 100%. Once you get a mark on your credit report from a collection DONT PAY THE DEBT you are wasting your time...damage is already done. All you can really do is try to establish more good credit to over shadow your bad credit. Yes he is right about disputing credit reports as well. A lot of collect agencies don't keep good records and most of them do not have time to sit and go through a credit dispute so it gets removed from your report if they don't respond in 30 days. It's all a game really.... every one falls down on their luck and hit hard times the collection agencies are master's at taking total advantage of that situation...they are nothing more than predictors. My score is over 730 and I have had things sent to collections before you just have to know how to play the game.

      Man get outta hear with this don't pay it again this is just another irrelevancy to a mixture of variations that deal with credit entirely understand car/loan pay late never goes away and it's no way you can go back and pay an old car note or anything late that gains a late fee yes that damage is done but for you to then add don't pay it like it's avail is ridiculous 100% and you again are just another part of this mixed up info in the world just tell the truth it's easier late car pay is put on credit reports each month and it's there forever you can't remove it but it doesn't effect you long term speak on debt that can be removed how? By paying it of course the 1's your able to pay

    @cindydixon4019 6 лет назад +1569

    I sent letters to the creditors asking them to settle for half of what was owed, with the understanding that the items would be removed from my credit report. It was agreed upon and some of them removed the items before I even mailed in the payment. (Your wording in your letter is very crucial to this). Took about 3-4 months to clean things up. Purchased a home a month later.

    First, ask them to verify the debt. Do they have the document you signed to say you agreed to the debt? You can settle with debt collectors, BUT ONLY if you get them to list it as "PAID AS AGREED" or "PAID IN FULL" on your credit report. Make sure you get it in writing BEFORE you pay so you can dispute it with the credit bureaus if needed.

    It’s ok to settle, just at the time you agree to pay the settlement offer, ask the collection agency to remove the debt entirely from your credit report and send you a letter agreeing to do so. Then you follow up with the credit bureau.
    If they lie/renege own their word (which I’ve never experienced) then you can sue them, but collectors don’t want all those extra problems

      Car loans shopped within the same few days up to a couple of weeks. So it shouldn't devastate your credit. Its falls under you shopping for a car. You will see an initial drop for running it even once though. If you wait longer than the couple of weeks to run credit again it can trigger as a new credit check.
