I did also send a friendly and informal email to the management company offering to pay the same amount. You are right though, I am at their mercy and I know it. I DID pay that damage deposit, but unfortunately, this was the first apartment I had ever moved into and I did not save any proof of it all those years ago in 2001 when I moved in. If they don't accept this offer, I guess i will have no other option but to make payments until it is paid in full. I screwed this up in so many ways.. I should have never sent them a letter in the first place and "woken the sleeping giant." before the SOL was up. I have a lot more reading to do to try to figure all this out it looks like

Many of these sample letters are very old. 2009 and older. Lots of opinions have changed in the past couple years..
And many of us have varying degrees of opions on how to handle debt and accounts, so I am sure others will have different opinions. This is just mine; so take it for what it is worth.
However, try not to stress out about it. They might ignore your letter, or offer a settlement, or somewhere in between.
The worst case scenerio is they sue you. Then you worry about it at that time. For now, see how the letters play out, and react accordingly.
So when did you actually move out of this apartment complex?
