Subject: Verizon Charge Off - AFNI Inc.
 
Posted on Sun May 03, 2009 11:02 pm  

Hello to all!

I am in the process of cleaning my credit report & I have a question about paying a OC or CA on a charge-off...My understanding is that when the OC charges-off your account, you can no longer pay the OC...Is this true?

I am now trying to plan my attack for this Verizon charge-off!!!

I don't know if I should send a PFD to AFNI and hope they except & then try to GW the crap out of Verizon & hope they will delete after I pay AFNI

Please help!!!!!...Don't know what to do

You should first send the collection companies, validation of debt letters certified mail. If they can not properly validate the debt they must delete the account. After that you might send Verizon a pay for deletion letter and offer to pay the entire balance since its so low. Good luck, but remember the collection companies are not your friends. Good Luck

Hi Helpwithcleanup
If the original creditor charges off the debt and the debt is still with the OC, you can negotiate with the OC and pay off the debt. Now, if the OC still owns your account, you can also negotiate with him to remove the charge off listing from your credit file.
Before sending any PFD agreement, I think that you should get the debt validated. You can find sample debt validation letter by visiting the letters of credit section.
