Best Answer

A collection agency will say or do anything to get you to pay. They will harass you, your family, and your co-workers. It doesn't matter whether you actually owe the debt or not as far as they are concerned.

Many people will pay bills when they are not really liable just to get them to stop. That is why they continue their often illegal tactics.

It would be very unusual for them to sue over 1200. However the negative report will stay on your credit for seven years. If you do decide to pay try to get a written agreement that they will remove any negative report.

What does due diligence time period end in real estate means?

It's a time period defined in a real estate contract (in residential contracts usually somewhere around 10 days) during which the buyer can back out of a binding agreement for whatever reason without any penalties like e.g. losing the earnest money. The due diligence period is especially important in buyer beware states because the buyer has to verify and check everything important to him prior to finalizing the purchase of a home. Typically, during this period the buyer will have a home inspection done, a pest inspection, a radon inspection, a survey etc. depending on what is important to know. If e.g. a home inspection uncovers issues with the property then all negotiations with the seller to fix the issues or reduce the price or whatever else the buyer wants to negotiate have to be concluded prior to the end of the due diligence period. If no agreement can be reached the buyer can terminate the binding agreement, get the earnest money back and walk away.


Can't pay credit card what happens?

If you can't pay - contact the card company now ! Explain you're having difficulties meeting the payments and ask them to calculate a lower payment rate over a longer time period. Do not let it get to the legal stage, as they'll add legal fees to your existing debt ! Most companies will gladly negotiate a lower payment over a longer time, than instigate legal proceedings.
