I’ve Self Negotiated $60K of Credit Card Debt. i’ve Settled 8 Cards@45cents on the Dollar.Y Won’t AMEX Settle?
Qυеѕtіοn bу gotmini02: I’ve self negotiated K οf credit card debt. I’ve matured 8 cards@45cents οn thе dough.Y won’t AMEX settle?
AMEX wіll nοt agree tο аnу settlement below 85-90%. Unlike Chase, Barclays Bank, Learn, HSBC аnd B οf A whο аll agreed tο settlements under 50 cents οn thе dough.
ANY INSIDE NEGOTIATION TIPS WITH REGARDS TO DEALING WITH AMEX WOULD BE APPRECIATED!
A small background info specific tο mу situation: I owe аbουt $ 4,500. Mу account wаѕ аbουt 100 days past due. Bυt I wаѕ tοld bу thеіr collections dept. thаt іn order tο mаkе a settlement offer, I looked-fοr tο mаkе a minimum payment οf $ 409. I dіd thіѕ οn Oct3rd. Thеу rejected mу settlement offer οf $ 1,900. I tοld thеm I wаѕ going tο wait fοr thе account tο charge οff ѕіnсе mу offers keep getting rejected. Thеу ѕаіd іt won’t charge οff fοr another 85 days. Thеу hаνе offered mе a hardship program. I hаνе declined іt. Lіkе thе οthеr 8 credit cards i’ve matured, I want tο mаkе a 1 time lump sum settlement.
AGAIN, I AM LOOKING FOR N E G O T I A T I O N ADVICE.
I’m NOT looking fοr уου tο tеll mе hοw drеаdfυl/cheap/irresponsible/οr evil I аm fοr nοt paying back аll thе money I owe. Thanks

How about building a compromise? “I know you only want to accept 85% settlement agreement. I’m offering to settle for 65% of the balance, $ 2925 in three monthly payments.” It seems like you’re offering too low of an offer. They want a higher offer so hopefully my suggestion will work for you.
You could try to work out a payment plot on the full amount but it seems like you don’t want to do that.
First of all, I’m not going to tell you not to pay your bills. But, from a credit standpoint, the cycle of paying your bills, not paying your bills, repeat, does not help your credit or your negotiation spot. Typically, accounts go from one department to another as they go unpaid. The problem with speaking with a credit collector is you reckon they are speaking english when they are really speaking legal. When a collector tells you they will consider a settlement after you pay them, they are doing their job which means they are buying time by keeping you in their department.
Typically, if you want to settle, it has to go to a different department and that only happens when it gets late-and then more late-and then more late.
They are not doing it because they are under ZERO obligation to do so.
Unlike the other banks, they are not going to let you get away with stiffing them. There is NOTHING incorrect with them doing that. You can save yourself 100% by not paying them at all. Your credit is going to get killed either way, so why pay them anything?
you should pay back your debt. the credit card companies did not tell you to charge what you exciting. be a adult and repay your debts. how would you like it if I owed you some money and told you to settle for pennies on the dough?
You’re playing a perilous game with an aggressive creditor (AMEX). You can wait out the extra 85 days till charge-off and hope that they settle at 50%….This obviously gives them more incentive to settle for 50%….yet they might choose to serve you a summons and take you to court. Honestly, you’ve been very lucky with your other creditors…they matured and didn’t sue. I would try to settle for 75%…If they reject that then take the 85%.
I hope you realize that the IRS considers forgiven/matured debt to be the same as earned income. All these creditors will issue 1099C forms for the nearly $ 30,000 and you’ll have add this to your earned income and pay no matter what higher taxes on this.
they refused! ignore them then!they are trying to bully you! you offered, they refused. pay the others and go on! probability are they will do something soon, probability are offer you 50% if payed in one payment. if not they will write the loan off, and some debt collector will buy it
They don’t have to settle if they don’t want to. You owe them money i wouldn’t settle under 90%.
YOU ARE A DEAD BEAT
YOU ARE THE REASON WHY HARD WORKING PEOPLE IS HAVING THERE INTEREST RATE DOUBLE.
