Owe Money-Credit Bureaus

If you owe money

Be honest and forthright with the creditor and notify them why you have been unable to fulfill your financial obligation;
Propose a periodic payment plan that you can live with and stick to it. The creditor will in most instances accept your proposal because voluntary payments are a much better alternative to involuntary collection procedures;
Offer a settlement amount if you pay immediately (i.e. 85% of the balance due) – you will be surprised at how many offers are accepted;

If your account is placed with a collection agency

Perform all of the above and insist that the account isn’t placed on your credit report if you make the payments.
