joe62 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 So long story short. I fell on really hard times at the end of last year job loss for a few months. I had stopped pay my credit cards. once I found employment some creditors decided to help me out and some did not. Hence, I have been receiving letters from Midland for the past two months about a Synchrony Bank ($4,000) account that was charged off in January of this year . Last week I got a Final Pre Legal notification stating that they are moving my alleged account to an attorney review process. From this boards experience with them how long before the sue? I would rather resolve this before it gets to court as I have no experience in legal affairs.How much would they typically settle for?

BackFromTheDebt Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 How much do you want to pay? If the answer is $0, go the arbitration route. None of us had legal experience before getting sued. We learned arbitration and won. Now we can teach you how to win without having to become a legal eagle, and without you having to reinvent the wheel. If the answer is more than $0, send them a letter that you are electing arbitration, but would be willing to settle for $X. If they accept, get documents drawn out and pay. If they make a counter offer, either pay it or fight it. If they ignore you and sue, then you pretty much have to go the arbitration route. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe62 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Thanks for the reply. I want to offer 10% just to feel them out. Rather settle that go through court by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather settle that go through court by myself. Just do it all in writing, not on the phone. When they reject your 10% offer, I would thank them for saving you $400 after you beat them in court with our help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
