Dealing with the OC

[lolah]

Background:

I recently found out I had an old debt after a default judgment had already been awarded, and a writ of garnishment was sent to my parents house and my payroll dept. I called the OC (a bank) and spoke to the VP. He asked me to email him all the documents I had on the case and he would research it. He did, and emailed me statements and signature cards from the bank. I am pretty sure the debt is past the SOL, but the debt is mine and I have the money to pay it. Plus, if I wanted that to be my defense, I would have to go through court, which I don't have the money to do as that includes traveling to a different state.

Question:

The VP agreed (in writing) to rescind the legal action taken once payment is received. Does anyone have experience in dealing with an OC in a situation like this? I am not sure if they will expect me to pay what the bank says I owe, or the amount the lawyer said I owed (including court costs, lawyer fees, etc.). Does anyone have experience in a sutation like this?

I am still waiting to hear back from the VP on the amount as he was out of the office yesterday.

I heard back from the bank and they referred me to their attorney. I guess they backed out, but I have in writing that they would accept the money and rescind all legal action. Now what?

If it were me, I'd call their attorney and tell him you have their offer in writing. If he gives you any flack, contact an attorney for yourself.
