</script></p><p>If you have a debt which is subsequently sent to collections, you will drastically damage your credit score. Your credit score will be damaged even more significantly if your creditor decides to seek a judgment.</p>
<p>If you are served with a Notice to Appear in court with regard to an unpaid debt, your creditor is through trying to work with you to collect the debt. After receipt of the Notice, you will have 30 days to object to the filing. If you can prove that the debt is invalid, you can have the case dismissed.</p>
<p>A creditor may or may not be serious if it threatens to file a law suit. However, going to court should be a very, very last resort in your mind.</p>
<p>A credit report which lists an &#8220;unpaid&#8221; judgment will continue to show that unpaid judgment for 10-12 years. A renewal of this listing may occur if, at the end of this period, the judgment remains unpaid. Your credit report will list a paid judgment for up to 7 years from the date paid.</p>
<p>It is wise to contact your creditor to arrange a lump sum payment or a payment plan. However, do this only after checking your state&#8217;s statute of limitations laws to determine if your debt falls within or outside of the laws. If your debt falls within the statute of limitations, you are still obligated to pay the debt and you should try to negotiate payment. Adversely, if your debt falls outside of the statute of limitations laws, you no longer owe the debt though, if you offer to make payment, you will start the clock running all over again.</p>
<p>If the court issues an official court order for payment of the debt, your credit score will suffer drastically. This negative mark will not show up on your credit report if you contact your creditor and negotiate a settlement prior to the entry of judgment.</p>
<p>Offering to negotiate a settlement is the best solution for all parties. Typically, creditors do not want to go to court and will accept a portion of the amount owed just to bring the matter to a close. If you do not have a lump sum to offer as payment, you can always attempt to negotiate a payment plan. If your creditor is not &#8220;in the mood&#8221; to consider any offers, you might think about calling the lawyer handling the case for your creditor.</p>
<p>If a judgment is dismissed, it will be reported on your credit report as &#8220;legally void.&#8221; This is considerably less harmful than a &#8220;paid&#8221; judgment. Paid judgments remain for seven years on your credit report from the time paid.</p>
<p>The best outcome would be to negotiate a full deletion of all negative information. If you are successful in negotiating this, make sure you get the agreement in writing and that you obtain the signatures of both parties. Keep in mind that once the court becomes involved, your chances of negotiating a settlement are next to none.</p>
<p>An experienced credit attorney might be a good idea. You may, in the long run, save some money and lessen the damage to your credit score by employing a seasoned consumer credit attorney.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you find yourself in a situation where you need to negotiate or settle a debt with a collection agency, understanding the &#8220;how tos&#8221; is vitally important. By understanding how to go about this correctly, you can save yourself vast amounts of money and, in the process, begin to repair your credit.</p>
<p>We know that in these tough times of economic instability, it is becoming increasingly hard to keep up with all your financial obligations. If this is the case with you and you are beginning to fall behind on your payments, call the creditor immediately and attempt to work out a payment plan.</p>
<p>If you are unable to work out a payment plan with the creditor, you account may end up being suspended or closed. In the event this happens, two things will most likely take place &#8211; 1) your credit score will be severely damaged and 2) your debt will be passed on to a collection agency. This is when an understanding of negotiation tactics will come in extremely handy.</p>
<p>To add insult to injury, collection agencies normally purchase debt for cents on the dollar. Very often, the cost to purchase debt is just 8 cents to 12 cents on the dollar. This means that your $1,000 debt could be bought for as little as $80 or your $8,500 debt might be purchased for $680.</p>
<p>This, however, does not mean that the collection agency will be amenable to settling for a trivial amount. Their business is to make money and they only do that by getting as much as they can from you. They may very well be nasty to you and possibly threaten a legal action against you.</p>
<p>However, legal action represents money, time, and effort on the part of the collection agency and, in light of this, it will normally not follow through with this threat. After purchasing your debt for cents on the dollar, your debt may, in fact, amount to very little to them. You should not, however, ignore any of the collection agency&#8217;s attempts to contact you. Your goal, as with the collection agency, is to settle this debt and get it behind you.<br />
<span id="more-2687"></span><br />
Lump sum payments are normally agreeable to collection agencies. This is because the collection agency knows you have some money on hand to pay what you are offering. You should make an iniitial offer to the collection agency of twenty-five percent (25%) of the original amount owed. The collection agency may then come back with a counteroffer. The process may go back and forth several times before an agreement is reached. Be sure that you do not offer what you do not have on hand to pay. Keep copies of all correspondence and documentation to and from the collection agency. Once an agreement is reached, be sure to obtain the agreement is writing.</p>
<p>Try to negotiate a payment plan with the collection agency if you don&#8217;t have a lump sum to pay. The matter will likely not go to court if the collection agency can see that you are making an attempt.</p>
<p>One thing you want to make sure of is that your debt will be &#8220;deleted in its entirety&#8221; from your credit history, whether you are paying a lump sum or are going to make payments. If you do not obtain this assurance &#8220;in writing&#8221; from the credit agency, this black mark may remain on your credit report for up to seven years.</p>
<p>To summarize, approach the collection agency confidently and make an offer. Do not allow bullying to sway you, stand firm. However, you must keep in mind that you do owe this debt and collection agencies earn their bread and butter by collecting debt. In light of this, try to be fair when negotiating, but obtain the best rate possible. Additionally, do not ignore any communication you may receive from a collection agency. If you follow the recommendations in this article, you may be able to clear up that outstanding debt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has become more popular in recent years to seek the services of credit repair attorneys. The main reason for this is that it is more important now than ever before to have an above-average credit score.</p>
<p>If you perform a simple and quick internet search for &#8220;credit repair attorney,&#8221; you will receive several million hits. So, what do these attorneys do? Can I do the same thing on my own? Let&#8217;s continue reading and see.</p>
<p>Having a poor credit score can limit you severely, especially since credit companies are now far more stringent in terms of to whom they want to offer credit. If you have a below average credit score, you will either be offered credit terms which include high annual percentage rates (APRs) and many additional add-on fees or you will be denied altogether.</p>
<p>Understanding that consumers want the highest credit score they can achieve, credit repair attorneys offer services to improve consumers credit scores. Typically, a credit repair attorney will review your credit report and present you with an analysis of what needs to be completed in order to improve your credit.</p>
<p>Often, firms will state they can remove entries such as charge-offs, late payments, foreclosures, and bankruptcies from your credit history. They may also state that they will develop a financial plan and monitor your credit for a specified period after the initial repair has been completed.</p>
<p>There is debate as to whether these services are worth the fees paid. The reason for this debate is the fact that there is nothing these companies do which you cannot do yourself. Additionally, there is no quick fix to credit repair and any company which tells you there is, is not being exactly truthful.<br />
<span id="more-2674"></span><br />
In addition to time, credit repair takes patience, persistence, and organizational skills. These are the basic advantages of employing a credit repair attorney, for a fee. If you do not want to take this process on yourself, then hiring a credit repair attorney may be a good decision for you.</p>
<p>This is an important decision and should not be entered into lightly. Before making your decision, perform a quick internet search for credit repair and review what the process entails. After doing this, decide for yourself if you should employ a credit repair attorney or if you should venture out on your own.</p>
<p>If you decide to use the services of a credit repair attorney, it is smart to shop around and get quotes from three firms prior to making your final decision. Some companies charge by the hour and can be somewhat vague as to their fees. Be sure that you understand what you are agreeing to prior to signing any agreements.</p>
