Yes, they could settle on amount before court--I usually tell people to start at half of what is owed if the debt is under 2 yrs old. That of course doesn't mean that the collection agency will accept that. Really and truly, it depends on if they bought the account and how much they paid for it. If it is older--start a little lower than half. Whatever you offer--make sure it is something that you can do immediately (within 30 days). State your case- tell them you are trying to clean up your credit. If the amount they want is more than you can afford--try to settle for more time--like 2-3 months with the balance divided by the months. ($900.00 is settled on--2 months to do it $450.00 a month--3 months $300.00 a month.) !!!DO NOT WRITE ANY POST DATED CHECKS--there have been too many mistakes made and you don't want to find that you are now overdrawn with more fees added and the money needed for utilities-rent is gone!!

What does it mean when a bank has written off your second mortgage?
It means you haven't paid them in so long that they've given up on collecting. Most companies sell their written off debts to collection agencies so you can expect to get annoying calls from a collection agency in the near future. If you owed enough on the 2nd mortgage the bank may also attempt to foreclose on your home. you should contact the lender and try to bring your 2nd mortgage current before that happens.

Why would a collection agency report a higher amount owed?
Te balance owed on a defaulted account will continue to accrue interest and penalty charges until a settlement of some sort is made. The interest charges and any applicable fees are regulated by state law where the debtor resides or in some cases the state where the contract was made. Not to be overlooked is the fact that many of the amounts reported by collection agencies are based on incorrect and unenforceable interest and fees. Do not hesitate to request an accounting of these amounts. Do not expect cooperation without effort.
