DISCOVER - my latest adventure

So a few years ago I decided to use a Discover card for a transfer card....bad idea, I know.

 

So I threw it onto a DMP that I was using.  The balance started at like 1.2K.  Now its down to 833.

 

So here is my question -

 

Should I...continue to pay the DMP and just deal with it like that

Should I...attempt to call them and negotiate

Should I..barrage them with GW's?

 

I definitely don't mind continuing to use the DMP, but I would like to clean up it's "status"

What documents/commitments did you sign/agree to as part of your plan?

Just a set amount, plus small fee (literally), as far as the DMP.

 

Discover, the normal paperwork.

 

A guy from Discover called me a few months ago wanting to negotiate.  I just called them back a few minutes ago and got some foreign chick who had no knowledge of that call.

I had a DMP program many years ago.  It hurt me bad, and when I questioned their payment methods, they dumped me saying I was in shape to fix the rest myself.  Which I did.  I prefer handling it myself.  I paid Discover off, every penny.  It's been 3 years, was thinking of reapplying for a new card.

Well the plan isnt that bad.....very easy to deal with, its just the fact that Discover has once called me in reference to settling up with them - the thinking is they would rather deal with you directly than a DMP.
