I have D credit and 200% DTI (big chunk of student loan debt in there – I am making pmts on the student loans), and 2 public records in the last 10 years. All my active open accounts were closed and charged off several years ago when an extended illness and hospitalization made me unable to work and therefore without income. A collector has bought up most of my non-student loan debt and is now coming after me. I don’t have much income but I live frugally and can afford to pay $250 per month. If they sue me I will have more public records and judgments at 9%. I’d like to avoid that, but don’t think I could get a comparable interest rate anywhere else. (Needless to say, on my income, homeownership has never been an option.)
Should I just wait for the suits and judgments and pay them at 9% or are there any other feasible options for me? (I’m also trying to avoid bankruptcy but might bail out if they hit me with tons of fees, court costs,etc.)
Minimum Wage –
I am not a professional lawyer, but here is my opinion.
You will not do better than 9% at Prosper. Given what you have told me I think 29% (maximum rate) might even be pushing it.
Debt buyers pay pennies on the dollar for debt. They want to collect without occurring fees and costs. If you are serious about avoiding bankruptcy I would offer them $0.20 on the dollar (again use your own judgement on actual amount) and see what happens.
