write your f irst letter.

Reference account number:
Dear creditor or collection agency,
In the last six months, I have been facing hard times with a lost of my
job, my mother passing away and my brother going to jail. I sincerely
apologize for falling behind on my debts, but I assure you my
neglectfulness was circumstantial. Now that I have a job, I'm ready to
settle my outstanding debt, and I would like to of fer you 20 cents on
the dollar (put a dollar amount here) for a deletion of all negative
information from my credit repor t and no fur ther collection activities.
Currently, I'm in negotiations with other creditors on a similar deal,
and I would like to close my account with you fast. If I receive a
signed agreement from you, I will gladly send payment out overnight.
Sincerely,
Your signature here.
9. In summary, know what you owe and
then compare it to what you have in
your bank account. By doing this, you
will know where to start with your
negotiations. In addition, some
creditors will ask for 80% of the
balance but this is just a starting point
of the settlement. You do not have to
have that amount to settle with as it is
just the start of negotiations. Your
letter must be accurate due to its legal
nature, and always double - check the
terms and conditions of the letter
before sending it out. Now that you are
empowered with more information, go
out there, and take action.
