San Antonio Bankruptcy Lawyer | Helping People In Financial Trouble Relieve Their Pain

gssmm asked:


I recently suffered an illness, lost my job, have several credit card balances, could not keep the payments up, tried to work an arrangement with the credit card companies, but that did not work out either. Now they are all in collections, my credit score is trashed, and short of filing bankruptcy (I do not want to do), I am getting offers to settle for half of the balance. I do not own real estate, but have recently came into some money, not a lot, but if I settle with the collection agencies, I was told that I should request they send me a paid in full as agreed letter first for the negotiated amount, and will help my credit score.
Is there proper way to do this that will eventually help my credit report??

I’m back in hope of getting some answers for my friend and her family. She is considering filing for bankruptcy, but we were discussing those companies that help you consolidate your credit card debt.

How do those “debt settlement” companies work? What is a name of a good one? Is there another way to consolidate your credit card debt? Don’t those companies let you pay less than you owe?

Sorry for the million questions! I know nothing about this topic. Thanks!

Hello. I have a credit card that is past due and over limit.. the amount i owe on it is about 1000$, i got a letter in the mail for a settlement offer where i would pay 448$ in 3 months and then my acct would close with a balance of 0$. I was wondering if this would be a good idea to take this settlement offer or if it would be better to just try and get it paid off? Thanks alot.
it would be turned into the credit bureau as a debt settlement
