Holiday Season

September 3, 2008

The holiday season is approaching fast. During this time is it common for a client to “break” and use a credit card for a Christmas gift or to apply for one in order to purchase gifts.

Please keep in mind a creditor can tell if you have applied or used a credit by accessing a credit report. This is not something that will remain a secret and can compromise negotiations on your accounts. Please stay on track this season and stick to the rule.

If you don’t have the cash, don’t buy it.

Good Settlement

September 3, 2008

You never know when a creditor or collector is having a particularly bad month. We spoke to a collection agency regarding a clients accont on Monday 8/25/08.  Our negotiator made them on offer of $1,937 based on the funds we had available.  They turned their noses up at it.

They called back just two days later on 8/27/08, and with the end of the month looming, they accepted the settlement.  The clients saved $6,988 and we settled their account for just 21%.
