Debt settlement and court

I just spoke with citi to try and settle a card that is past due by 3 years now. They will settle but wont delete from the credit report. So I told them I needed to look it over. Next year is when the SOL ends and they cannot do anything. I am debating on whether I should risk another year or just settle and let the settlement hurt me for another 7 years.

citi

i agree -- citibank, discover and capital one -- the three most likely to sue --

If I only had one more year,

If I only had one more year, I would wait it out and would only settle with them if they file in court.

From my experience, settlements don't really affect you for a full seven years. Yes, they are still on my report but my credit has gone from a low of 520 (post settlement) to over 750 now...and we just bought a second home. Credit does recover - even with the ding still showing.

Citi watches the SOL and more

Citi watches the SOL and more than likely will sue before the SOL runs out.

Citibank

The same thing happened to me with them; I went to a debt settlement place and we got them to accept $388 a month, and they took it out of my acct.

citi

they are tough -- I had to settle with them -- they took me to court and were about to get a judgement -- its up to you if you want to settle -- for me, it was that or get my salary garnished -- good luck

citi - collection agency

citi just put my account into collection. When I called they said NCO financials would be contacting me. No word yet. Will they settle with me?

They more than likely will.

They more than likely will. You're probably looking at a range of 30 - 60% of what you owe.

Please feel to respond with any additional questions. Good luck.
