I was just served papers from a collection beru. I have to pay 3,500. I just dont have that kind of money. If I call them and make payment arrangements will they except them, or will they just take me to court anyways? What is the best thing I can do? No rude answers please!

I can write you a check for $3,500.00 if you promise to pay me back $5,250.00


beba
Call them and explain them your situation, they can cut your balance to 50% . or give you payment options.


mandy
it depends on who is givin you the papers. if they are fair resonable ppl than i think they would take you up on it an give you time. if they arent then your goin to court on their terms. but you can always call an try. ? right?


frieste
worst i think that could happen is they take you to court and the judge makes them not only accept payments, but will also make sure you understand to make payments or you will go to jail.....


CigarMike
Ask them to set up a payment agreement with you. Even if you offer them $100 a month, they will more than likely accept your offer. Something is better than nothing!


KC
Make arrangements and keep them or it will be frowned upon if you do ever have to go to court.

Just so you know how collection agencies work. There are two usual ways that they work:

1. They are collecting for a client on a percentage basis. For example, you owe $1000 to a clothing store and you are put in collections. The collection agency gets 20% of whatever they can collect out of you.

2. The debt is sold to a collection agency who then tries to collect as much as they can from you. For example, the $1000 debt was sold for $200. Then the collection agency will make a profit on any collection over $200.

Sooooooo with that information in hand, you now know you can probably get away with negotiating to pay less than the actual amount that you owe, and set up a payment plan to do it.

Good luck!!!


Confuscious
Most collection companies will work with you, it is in their best interest to have you make payments. But, even if they take you to court (which nobody really wants), there are laws that protect you and the judge will most likely give you a payment option.
