Delinquent CC Accounts- PFD

New member here. Unfortunately I am in a credit pickle and looking for advice. I have 2 credit cards that are outstanding. See details below. My question is... I want to negotiate a PFD with the CA on the one card but the other card, can I negotiate to have any negative information removed with the OC since it hasn't gone into collections. I need to clear this up ASAP. I have the money to pay both in full so I feel there is some room for negotiation here as it is a sizable amount.

Capital One: $1,066.26
Past 120 days, with CA now

Discover Card: $6,122.54
90 days late, still with OC

Is there anyway to negotiate having all negative reporting with the OC and CA? I'm 26 and fell into some financial and health problems last year. Will be opening a business soon with a partner. Any help would be appreciated

Re: Delinquent CC Accounts- PFD

All I can tell you that in my case, Discover went absolutely Medieval on me.  In the end it was only a very good lawyer with the threat of bankruptcy that they negotiated a settlement, so I wouldnt count on any help from them.  I was treated so poorly that I nor any of my family will never own a Discover card ever again.  In short they put me through shear hell, knowing full well my circustances which were totally out of my hands.

Oh well that's comforting. Geeze! I can pay the full amount for both right now but want to make sure I take the right steps before I pay it and have it in all reporting.

Ask if you pay in full can it be deleted in Goodwill.

Since you have the money why not just contact them and ask them for a deletion as a gesture of GW if you pay in full. to the OC, I would simply call them and explain your situation. Advise them that you will gladly pay off the account in full, and ask them to remove the TL

 

In the case of the CA, send them a letter asking for a PFD. Remember, the letter should not contain any "dispute" ore negative wording. YOu need them more than they need you at this point since, I am assuming, the debt is still within the SOL.

 

By asking, the worst they can say is No. But after all, you already have a "No" without asking.

 

Please keep us posted on what happens.
