I јυѕt need hеlр аѕ tο hοw tο settle debt іn a smart way ѕο thаt I'm never again harrassed once аnd fοr аll. Thanks!
First, іf thе ORIGINAL CREDITOR "charges οff" thе debt, οr writes іt οff tο thеіr bottom line, аnd thеn sells іt tο a third party fοr a reduced amount (usually .10 cents οn thе dollar), уουr don't owe anyone a thing. If thеу sell уουr debt, thеу аrе saying "wе give up, wе feel wе wіll never gеt thаt money frοm уου." Thе third party thеn attempts tο 'rob' уου basically. Thеу hаνе nο rіght tο collect frοm уου ѕіnсе уου haven't signed аnу contract wіth thеm specifically, уου see? Yου signed аn agreement wіth company A, whο thеn wrote οff thе debt, аnd sold іt tο company B. Yου hаνе NO obligation tο company B whаt ѕο еνеr. If thеу keep calling уου, send thеm a 'сеаѕе аnd desist' letter. Thаt іѕ thе ONLY way tο gеt thеm tο ѕtοр trying tο steal frοm уου. Now, іt's a completely different ѕtοrу іf thеу "assigned" thе debt fοr collection. In οthеr words, іf thеу HIRED thе collection company tο retrieve thе debt fοr thеm, уου still owe thе money. Check уουr credit report tο see hοw іt іѕ being reported. If іt wаѕ charged οff, іt wіll state thаt clearly. Gο here fοr thе ONLY truly free credit report

They can't just choose to make a deal with you, get your account information, and then charge you whatever they want.
Get the amount for the settlement in writing. If they refuse to send you a letter stating the settlement amount, close your bank account. Do not pay a dime until you have both agreed upon a balance and a payment plan in writing. Also demand a copy of the paperwork that shows how much money you already owed before the settlement. They won't take you to court over this because their lawyers will have to turn over this paperwork to your legal counsel during discovery anyway…which means that threatening you with a legal hearing over this is a waste of time for them.
If you already settled the debt with a previous agency, you need proof that you settled the debt. If you have that proof, explain the sitaution to them and send them copies of what you have. All they'll say after that is: "Thank you and have a nice day!" If you don't have proof, then they can get the money from you. The point is this: ALWAYS KEEP YOUR PAPERWORK NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.
The best you can do after all this is pay down the debts. Send the minimum payment to each, and pay off the debts with the highest interest rates first. Once you get one paid off, start on the next one; once you knock out the first couple of bills, it becomes much easier to get by. And, once your done getting rid of your debt, don't celebrate until you have enough in savings to get by for a couple of months in case anything should happen (such as losing your job, medical emergencies, or a disaster such as a robbery or fire).

My wife and I haven't paid off our debts yet, but we're on the right track.
First, if the ORIGINAL CREDITOR "charges off" the debt, or writes it off to their bottom line, and then sells it to a third party for a reduced amount (usually .10 cents on the dollar), your don't owe anyone a thing. If they sell your debt, they are saying "we give up, we feel we will never get that money from you." The third party then attempts to 'rob' you basically. They have no right to collect from you since you haven't signed any contract with them specifically, you see? You signed an agreement with company A, who then wrote off the debt, and sold it to company B. You have NO obligation to company B what so ever. If they keep calling you, send them a 'cease and desist' letter. That is the ONLY way to get them to stop trying to steal from you. Now, it's a completely different story if they "assigned" the debt for collection. In other words, if they HIRED the collection company to retrieve the debt for them, you still owe the money. Check your credit report to see how it is being reported. If it was charged off, it will state that clearly. Go here for the ONLY truly free credit report

Most likely there are two ways to consolidate your credit card debts. One of the way is Credit Card Consolidation Loan, which is a type of unsecured personal loan. Credit Card Debt Consolidation Loan shortly means one loan for all your credit card debts. When you have several credit card debts, you can consolidate it into one lower, fixed rate loan. You make a single lump sum payment each month to your credit counselor and he in turn will pay off to your current creditors.
Another way is credit card debt settlement plan wherein a debt settlement company would negotiate a lower lump sum payment to pay to your Credit Card Companies i.e. your creditors off and as a result you end up paying fifty percent or even sometimes lower, of your outstanding balance to them.
You can avail more details on debt settlement through this website http://ezconsolidation.com
