                               <description>Hi!

In 1995 (1/6/95) I move from NY to SLC, Utah (almost broke), I left some credit cards debts pending.( I didn't notify change of address, because I didn't know where I should be, I was in Utah with friends in different places ). The persons in my old address were students they didn't give any news about any mail to me when I asked for.

Seems from one of those debts I get a judgment in april /2001  for $3,500, I am not sure about this amount I think is too much,I don't  have

I'm on the road [very long road] to becoming debt-free [besides mortgages] andamp; I was wondering what you all thought about this idea that I had. I'm sure other people thought about it too, but I personally have been really thinking about it here lately. 

First of all, I always read andquot;NEVER pay JUST the minimum payment unless you REALLY can't afford to pay moreandquot;. This is to pay the interest down. Right ?? 

But then I tho...</description>

On top of that, they have difficulty getting approved for credit cards. The whole situation can get extremely frustrating.

The second thing I tell them is written in bold: READ THE...

                               <description>Hello,
If I am going to dispute a collection should I do it with the credit bureau as well as write a letter to the collector asking them to validate the debt? Or should I just dispute with one? And if one, which one is better to start with? OH, and BTW, I found out when I got my credit reports that this debt is showing as a public record filed with the court in my district! I live in Michigan. How should I proceed? Thank you very much. Any help with this is truely appreciated.
Smiles,

IF I won $10,000 on a slot machine or in a state lottery  (I live in New York State) would the creditor take the money immediately?  I know back child support is subject to this type of income.  I'm old so that doesn't apply!!

                               <description>I have a judgment against me for a credit card debt.  I lost my last 2 jobs - lay offs - and was forced to take my Social Security earlier than I hoped to survive.   I have no other income or own any property.

Two questions:

1.  If I have a joint checking account with my wife can the creditor put a HOLD on the account?

2.  I have no wages or employer.  IF I won $10,000 on a lottery ticket or at slots can they take that money?

                               <description>An old AMEX credit card debt opened with ss# was andquot;charged offandquot; last month by AMEX and sold to a junk debt buyer.

I just pulled my credit report this week and there the debt is not listed anywhere. I was expecting to see AMEX listed with a $0 balance because it was opened with a personal ss#. 

Does it now show on a credit report because it was a small business cc? Is there any way to look at this type of debt? I wanted to look at the date of last activity.</description>

                               <description>I got an offer to pay my debt on a credit card. They said they will take off 40% of the debt, and consider it Paid In Full. Is it better to go ahead and pay the lesser amount, and have a Paid In Full noted on my credit report? Or should I arrange to make payments on the full amount? I want to do which ever will improve my credit score the most. I don't know if it'd be best to pay in full at a lesser value, or establish a payment history until I pay the entire amount.</description>

Once the check is cashed you are free from it and they take it over??? Could this be true??? The name of the company is: Integrity Debt Relief Group. Have you heard of them??</description>
