I am a student with about 3 years left of school before I start making money and I have some serious credit card debt! I owe about $12,000 to Visa and about $7,000 to AMEX. Most of that money has gone to tuition, books, & fees not covered by aid and loans.
I have been reading other post about this matter and am kind of confused. Should I contact the creditors before they go to a collection agency and try to work out some kind of deal (like litterally pennies on th dollar)? How long before they sell the account to collections? I want to call them tomorrow- I've been avoiding their calls like the plague! How do I clear this up? Can I?
I have no income but my parents offered to help as much as they can. If they take me to court what can happen (supposedly I already have a case number) since I have nothing and no income? I've heard some people say that when I call them I should say something like, "I'll pay you *** if you agree to take this off of my credit report." Can I really do that?
