HI All,
Newb here. The situation is that I have a few accounts on collection, due to past negligence, fraud
issues and putting medical bills on credit cards that I couldn’t pay at that time. I have been
ignoring calls from CAs as I couldn’t really pay the money. I was in the hospital for a bit and I
recently started supporting my family so I hardly save much. I recently started working again and
concentrated on paying personal loans and started paying my student loans and let the credit card
accounts default. I have 10 accounts showing on my FicoReport, with 3 without negative indication (
the student loan i’m paying and one of my active credit card accounts + a closed one in the past).
I have 2 negative indicator accounts with $0 balance that say Pays account as agreed.
and the total debt of the delinquent/collection accounts is about 13000$, student loan being another
8000$ (which is in good standing).
I recieved a letter from attorneys (Lustig Glaser & Wilson PC in Needham, MA) representing a
collector, Bank of America, that i owe about 2400$ saying that they want to discuss this matter with
me and reach an “amicable” solution and that they can work together to arrive at a reasonable
payment program.
I recently had some major expenses on some dental work to the tune of 2000$ and while I wish to
start repaying the debtors as soon as possible, I don’t really know how to handle this.
Getting this letter from an attorney, does this mean I’ll be sued? What should be my next steps?
My Equifax is at 571 right now. I wish to improve it and am willing to even cutback on my lifestyle
in terms of eating out or travel etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I can further provide more details about my accounts if the
need be. It’s just that I cannot afford a lawyer at this point of time.
