Need some advice. I was planning on sending an PFD for 50% of my delinquent debt with Santander and just recieved this email below from them indicating that they are willing to settle for 30% of the delinquency. Should I still send them the PDF for 30% of the debt or pay the settlement? If I pay the settlement, all lates, repo, etc will still affect my score, correct?

I would use their settlement offer in a PFD letter. Just make sure you send it out within 45 days. Is this out of suing SOL?
I don't believe so.
TX SOL 4 years
Date Opened 2/08
DOLA 1/12
Date Closed 11/11
None of those dates apply. Do you know the DoFD? When did you get behind and never catch up?
I don't know off hand but I would say it was late 2009 or early 2010.
Did you take the settlement? Did they send the title?

Ummm, I think it's only been a month. I hope the year didn't go that fast lol.
You are right! My apologies. I have been a little sickly today...
When I read the post I could have sworn it said 3/5/2012.If it was a repo, you won't get a title as you no longer own the vehicle.
