credit question Thomas Mckee pay collections or not??


How to handle collection agencies.

1.    Unless you want to pay them: don’t talk to them or respond to their mail correspondence. Many times they can be abusive, especially when an old collection, one that has been “sold” to other collection companies, is going to fall off your report soon due to the statute of limitations. Seven years in most cases.

2.    Do Not let them call your home, relatives, employer, etc.. This is illegal and a simple letter can cure the duress they try to put you though!

3.    To stop the harassing phone calls simply obtain their address and write a simple letter that they are not to contact you in any manner but a letter. Be sure that you notate the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collections Practices Act).

 

Finally, if you want to pay the debt that is a moral issue of which I can’t address—only you. Just be sure to work out an agreement whereas the negative item is removed from your credit report and always get everything in writing.

  1. Bad Credit Payday Lenders are the appropriate option for short-term financial needs of the multiple aspirations. Boring people can make the best use of the fund to pay all their bills and debts regardless of credit holders worse.
