I am trying to pay what i can like $15 with a money order to a collection agency? is this better than nothing?
                     
 




tahj.
Yes, its always better then nothing.
I did that with one collection agency for an old cable bill, they told me i could only pay in full, but i chose to send them money oders of about $20 every week, or whenever i could, and they took it, they try to get all the money out of you at once, but honestly, they want thier money, they bought your account from the original credit company, so even if its a mear $20 or so, they will be happy that thier getting something, call them and tell them thats all you can afford, after you send a couple payments, they will work with you and things should smooth out,
hope everything goes good, sorry i didnt help.

OK, lets be honest here.

I see some of the answers say you are making a reasonable effort to pay them back. That depends on what you owe.

If you owe $200, and all you can afford is $15 a month, that is BARELY reasonable. You are forcing the creditor to wait about a year to get paid back.

But lets say you owe $2000. Do you think they will wait 12 years? No, sorry. It's not reasonable, and they will certainly refuse your payment.

You need to come up with a payment plan that will not take more then 2-3 years to pay back.

No. Stop paying. It will remain in your credit file for 5 to 7 years regardless. Just ignore the phone calls and throw the collection mail away. Get a po box and unlisted number.
A collection agency has nothing to do with your original debt. They buy your account.

Depends on what type of collections and depends on what you are trying to do...

Trying to save your credit? $15 won't help you here, because the collection agency will report the entire debt as owing and will only update it once a year (if you're lucky).

Trying to avoid being sued? This $15 will save you from being sued, assuming you're broke anyway, the company will have to spend too much money to get a worthless judgment.

Assuming you get sued anyway, that $15 each month will help you in court. It makes you look like you are making a good faith effort to pay your debts, and it makes the collection agency look like a big meany.

They'll keep after you until you pay off the whole bill. But at least sending them what you can will show them you're earnest.

It is better than nothing, but what is the interest rate? You may just be throwing $15.00 out the window monthly. Lets be honest with ourselves, if you go to a lending institution and say I am paying $15.00 a month to handle that bad debt, do you believe they will be impressed? If anything, that would scare me as a lender. I would try to increase it to more, especially if there is interest.

Good Luck and Take Care
