Hi

I have 2 collection accounts with Asset Acceptance LLC.

The first is for an AT & T account opened in 10/05. Date of last payment 11/05. Amt $2098. Balance owing per credit report $2248. Balance owing per Asset letter of settlement offer $2241.02

They have mailed me twice, 3 months apart, in writing an offer for 50% discount, so I can pay $1120.51 and they will in return give me "a zero balance on your AT & T account with us, a paid account letter, report appropriately to the CB's."

The second is for a CitiBank/Zales Jewelers account opened in 12/03. Date of last payment 03/01. (that is what the credit report states?!) Balance owing per credit report $1229. Balance owing per Asset letter of settlement offer $1223.62

they have mailed me twice, 3 months apart, in writing an offer for 70% discount, so I can pay $367.09 and they will in return give me "a zero balance on your Citibank/Zales account with us, a paid account letter, report appropriately to the CB's."

Q1. Should i Dv them, or take advanatage of these offers?

Q2. I thought that CA's cannot add interest? The first round of letters had lower balances, and in the recent letters the balances have gone up....

All help is appreciated!

:confused:

First off paying isn't going to help you out, what you want is an agreement of pay for delete..on that first account.

As to the Zales account, I believe SOL has already been reached, according to this site, sol in florida is 5 years... http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/SOL-by-State.html#10

I'm pretty sure other more experienced members here will chime in with more info.
