Hey oh wise ones...
Here's my dilemna. Desperately trying to get approved for a mortgage. I have established that two debts that MCM are trying to collect from my DH are legitimately ours.
1. We received settlement letters for each for 40% off....great news, right?!
2. I'm willing to pay the whole darn amount to get these things deleted so that we have a shot for this mortgage.
I'm really lost right now and not sure which way to go. I've heard that MCM will absolutely not delete a debt...even if paid in full. I'm scared that if I even ask them to do that (offer to pay in full for a delete) they will retract their settlement offer.
Anyone have any advice, experience with them, or would just like to give me their opinion? I believe in paying a debt that is ours, it is the right thing to do. But, hey, I also believe if the other party is willing to settle or delete, then I'd like to take advantage of that! We've been trying to get a mortgage for 3 years now and I'm losing hope
Thanks all...
Ive sent you a PM, email one of these two people and see if you can offer a PFD using the sample PFD letter here, filling in your information...
They sometimes delete, in my instance, i have 2 accounts with them that have been paid close to 2 years now, and i am fighting with them to have them removed x.x.x only about 4 months now haha
Ben...
Thank you so much!!! I will send one of them a PFD. Have you had any luck at all with any creditors doing a delete?
I'm also contacting Pinnacle, LVNV Funding, and Capitol One. Wish me luck!!!
You may not need to have them deleted to qualify for a mortgage, but you will need to have paid them.
Obviously getting them deleted is the best option but you could likely just pay the settlement and be ok, assuming that your FICO scores are good enough.
i have had 0 PFD success, but i have had 2 GW success
Hey, I am in the same boat. They offered me a settlement as well. 256.25 for a bill of $472.09. I would much rather pay the whole amount for a delete. Can you pm me the email address as well
Done!~
Can you PM me the contact info too?...Midland is starting to become a real pain!
Please PM me I'd need help getting midland deleted.
I have a Midland account that they tried to bring a judgment on. I beat that over two years ago. Today I got a letter with a settlement offer. I am in the process of debt verification. From what it sounds the DOFD is August 2006, a little bit off of seven years. I wanted to get a home this summer but with this still on my bureau (final collection not paid) what should I do? I don't have the money to settle at the moment. I should also point out that it is not reporting a status at all, it is just listed as a collection account/no status. Thank you.
