Yes but you have to negotiate with the Law firm listed on your summons/complaint/warrant in debt e.g. papers you were served. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Negotiate" implies a two-way undertaking. In this case they will give you a lump sum "take it or leave it" offer. It will be a one-way conversation.

On my last lawsuit I gave a lump sum "Best and Final Offer (BAFO)" after my first somewhat low first offer and their counter to it, I never budge again because that was my BAFO. In the end they took it. Since we didn't start at a "take it or leave it offer" that's negotiating correct? I had filed for arbitration and had something (whether you call it a bat or a carrot because of the MTC), we were going to a MTC hearing if they didn't accept my BAFO. @JohnC7 You should check your CC agreement and see if you can file a MTC. I settled for 25% after I was served because I filed an MTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
