Severe debt problems

My nephew is going through severe debt problems. I have agreed to pay off his credit card debt. The original creditor says that he has assigned the account to a debt collection agency. However, the debt collection agency is saying that they have assigned/sold the account to a law firm. Now, I’m utterly confused. Whom should I pay and how much?

How to contact the correct person at a bank for removal of c

So, you get charge offs and finally have a collection agency that has been assigned by the original creditor that will settle the debt for pennies on the dollar. But to settle the debt you want to get the original creditor to remove the charge-off in exchange for payment.

Problem is getting to the correct person who has such authority in a large institution, they usually will put you over in customer service where they tell you that they cannot remove the charge off because it is a requirement of the credit bureaus that they report the charge off.

Several request to validate

Verizon is constantly asking to make a partial payment on the debt. This is completely BS. I don't owe this debt. I have made several requests to validate the debt. I had even contacted their National recovery Department. I think this is only the tactic to reset the reporting date. Some of my friends have asked me to settle the debt. Is this a wise option?

How do I begin the process of debt settlement?

I already have a suit against me in my county by the law firm that purchased my debt from a clinic. The original debt was for $5000. The law firm filed suit against me for $5400. The original debt was created in 2008, the suit was filed in 2011. The law firm never garnished my wages however they did levy my accounts and I have not banked since the suit because of the threat of loosing money with no notice. They have levied a total of $1300. I have not been contacted in over a year and there have been no attempts to garnish or levy in that time either.
