What is the name of your state? I am currently out of the country right now, so don't have a state. I just need a general advice that is applicable to any state. Thanks.

I am about to negotiate some unsecured bad debts and long past due bills. I owed about $20,000 in unsecured credit card debts and past due utilities/phone/insurance bills, and I have not paid them for well over two years. I have been able to successfuly hide my tracks and locations from creditors and debt collectors quite well. As one debt collector after another has failed to get any money from me, my accounts have been bouncing from one collector to another.

I am ready to rebuild my credit in the US. Since the damages have already been done to my credit records, I am just looking to settle the debts with as little money as possible, preferably at 25 cents on a dollar or even lower. I know that can be done -- a friend of mine is going to introduce me to his friend who has reduced his debt to 25 cents on a dollar in the past.

I am not in a hurry to settle all my debts. I plan to settle with one particular debtor at one time, one at a time. My plan is to play off one creditor/collector against another. I will let them know that I will pay off whoever is willing to give me the biggest break -- and the statute of limitation on my debts is close to expiration. I also have a dual citizenship, connections and family members in a far away country, so I can disappear for many years.

Here is the second part of my plan: at some point in the near future, after I take care of the bulk of the debts, I will hire a reputable debt settlement company to deal with the remaining collectors that refuse to work with me or give me a break. I personally know a business owner who had bankruptcy in mid 1990s, and he has had a very good experience with a particular debt settlement company that he is going to recommend to me. That company helped remove many or all of the negative items on his credit history and boosted his credit score to 800+. I have not looked into how that could be done. So, if you know anything about successful disputing and removing negative credit items from credit history, please let me know.

Other than that, what other tactics and methods can you recommend for my negotiation? Can you recommend a debt settlement company? Can you you recommend a few good websites that teach the in's and out's of aggressive negotiations with debt collectors?

Thank you!

Nobody here is going to want to help you, so you can just screw everyone, and get away with paying debts that you legitimately owe, and just don't want to pay.

You can't even obey the rules of the forum, geez. What does that nice bold sentence at the top say, the one in bright red, when you make a post?

GO HOME!

I have posted in multiple forums, here and elsewhere. I have already gotten helpful advice from other forums. If you don't want to help, then please stay out of this thread -- please leave your negativity, blames and personal attacks out of this discussion. Either way, I am going ahead with what I plan to do, and you guys can't really stop or deter me. I am getting advice, either from here or elsewhere.

Thanks.

Ignore the Philistines, Oh Great KTChong!

They do not see your Cunning. They disdain your Guile and Treachery.

They are afflicted with the weaknesses that beset Mortal Men - like Morality and Conscience.

They ignore your Entitlement - to move through the world Impervious to the Chaos of Deceit and False Promises.

But there are those who Understand.

And if we had the Power - the Purloined Funds, the Relatives on Distant Shores - we would show our True Feelings.

We would consecrate a Forum devoted to You alone - and it would be called Flake.

But, alas, we do not enjoy these blessings. So we will Revere you in the only Ways that simple Acolytes can.

We will be humble and Shield our eyes from your Greatness and our ears from your Words.

We will remain Resolute and Silent in your Presence, as is befitting One whose Wisdom is Unfathomable.

And we will wait, Breathless, until You come again.
