retmar Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Is this in response to a letter from them offering a settlement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retmar Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Then you will quote them in your response. An example would be:This letter is in regards to your letter of ??/??/???? pertaining to your offer of settlement of the above referenced account. It is to be known that I have accepted this offer as written, and, in good faith, will comply to all agreed upon requirements of this settlement.Then repeat exactly word for word of the offer, IF, in fact, you do agree to all parts of it.Your intent is that you want to protect yourself in all ways. If they say they are deleting, then you repeat this in your letter, and include the name of the person who said this, over and above the letter. Believe it or not, but, too many times the CA does not hold up to their part, then try and get around it by saying that the person who said this was not authorized to do so. Therefore, you want an authorized signature placed on your letter and a copy returned to you before any payment is made. Yes, you must sign and return theirs in the same envelope, but, do not fret, as you will not send payment until receipt of their signature. If they want their money, they will comply. If they hesitate, just let them know you only want it for your protection, which is a simple request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
