- Pay me $1,000 plus the court costs I have incurred so far
- Consider the alleged debt as fully satisfied
- Remove the inquiry from my credit report
I should get a check and a letter stating all of this sometime next week in the mail. Once I have the letter and my check has cleared, I will withdrawal my lawsuit.
Wow, that's awesome !! Congrats on your success !! Heck who cares about the inquiry now, you just hit the lottery !
Congratulations for hanging in there and wining. Most follks would not have the fortitude to do so. Please post back once the check is received and all is closed. I would be very interested to see it closed for good.
wth, that is a generous settlement, IMO. I would have expected them to offer to wipe the inquiry and maybe even pay any court costs, but to pay you cash on top as an initial settlement offer. Wow. Congrats.
I'm off to go sue somebody now. I didn't know it was this easy. LOL j/k
Nice, very nice.
I guess it is official and this will probably be my last post here (unless anyone has any questions. I received a letter from the CA today that addressed all the points of our agreement as well as the check for $1169. I also signed my part agreeing to drop my case and that I release them from any further liability regarding this issue. Everything looked good and the check is in the bank. I will be heading down to the courthouse tomorrow to withdrawal my case. Definitely glad to have this over and done with, including a positive outcome.
jimbo831 - It may be too late to add to this....I would add a phrase that says they are prohibited from selling or giving or trading the alleged debt to anyone else AS WELL AS (sorry if I missed this part already) the information on the original debt. You want to be able to recognize the alleged originator of the debt in the event it comes back to visit you in disguise.
Lots of stories of CA's passing along "settled" debts to others...even when the debt was paid off in full.

Great point. They actually did say something in there about the debt being fully satisified, never to be sold or transferred to another company.
