What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NH
My wife has two old derogatory collection accounts that we need to get resolved. My wife and I plan to negotiate with the two collection agencies but at this point in time these debts are long past the statute of limitations and I believe she would only have to wait another 18 months before they both should drop off the credit report. We are not interested in paying a settlement, we want to pay the full amount owed in exchange for them completely removing the entries from her report************** I was just curious to hear from anyone who has negotiated with collection agencies / creditors and have been in a situation where they have removed the entry in exchange for full payment......or am I completely dreaming about our chances of getting them to remove instead mark the entry as being paid. The other thing that I am aware of is that it could be an extreme tightrope negotiating with them because if she acknowledges the debt, the clock on the debt rewinds and so we lose our leverage I guess.....any advice would be very much appreciated
Thanks
