Tip 1: Before you call the bill collector about negotiating a chargeoff, first mail a debt collection verification letter (with return receipt) to challenge the debt, even if you believe the debt is likely yours.
You have the right to make a debt collection agency prove:
[a] That the debt belongs to you by forwarding proof to you
[b] That the collection agency is licensed to collect debt in your state
The reason you want to challenge the debt is because if the collection agency fails to provide proof, they cannot legally pursue you for payment, nor can they legally submit a derogatory report to a credit bureau.
The sample letter we provided also informs creditors that you don't want to be contacted by phone. Learn your debt collection rights; read the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Tip 2: Check to see if it is a 'Zombie Debt Collection'.
Some collection agencies try to collect on debts that have exceeded the debt statute of limitations. If the statue of limitations has been exceeded, you don't have to pay the debt.
