Shank 0 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Greetings from the Great Republic of Texas! Been doing some searching about how to go about paying a settlement. The search basically led me onto these forums. Onto the main part. I pretty much negotiated a settlement (Lump sum) with a judgment collections agnecy, got it in writing, read over it and decided it was legit/what We discussed, sent it back signed, they confirmed they received it, got them to send me a copy of it just to make sure, and now I’m wondering how I should go about paying the collection agency. Check, debit card, money order, prepaid debit, certified mail? Hopefully y’all have some insight on what way I should approach the situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LaneBlane 95 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I would never provide my banking information or credit/debit card details to a collection agency. If it were me, I would send them a certified check from my bank. I'd also add "payment in full" language. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With a signed settlement in place, I don't think writing "payment in full" on the check means anything. However, I would definitely send a bank check and I would send it to them certified mail with return receipt. Also, assuming your negotiations were done through email, I would email them to let them know you mailed the check on XX day and provide the certified mail number to them.
