Hi,
I got a message earlier and I just called back. It was my creditcard company! They were actually a lot friendlier than I thought they would be...and to think I've been avoiding them :). Well, they offered to lowere my intersest from 25% to 2%, which is really cool but I still can't afford to pay them. Then I said something that triggered the person on the phone to say, "Oh, so you want to settle?" Then he offered to cut my balance in half (this is a BIG balance), but there was a catch- I have to pay off the account in 4 months at $1500 a month!!! Anyways, sorry for the long story. Here's my question- Do you think they will go any lower? I mean, that was their first offer and if I can't pay it what options do they have? They're going to write off the account as a loss anyways and I know my account is insured. Also, if I do settle can they sell the remaining amount to collections? I feel bad, but it didn't help that when times got rough they jacked the interest rate way up.
