Oh well! I know I won't take every weekend off that like all the time, so it was worth it!shoeaholicnomorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822616952729905352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573001530166413689.post-65897301078229556422014-04-16T09:00:54.456-05:002014-04-16T09:00:54.456-05:00I'm really not sure what's going on with i...I'm really not sure what's going on with it... I need to call, just haven't had time yet. I haven't tried to negotiate for lower amounts and having the rest forgiven because most of my balances are under $1k so I'm not sure they'd go for it. Additionally, I don't have a lump sum sitting around that I could pay all at once either... But I did try to negotiate for a lower interest rate on one my cards last year or so, maybe I should call them all again. shoeaholicnomorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822616952729905352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573001530166413689.post-72787947392888186792014-04-16T02:22:51.299-05:002014-04-16T02:22:51.299-05:00Happy Belated Birthday!

I know nothing about this, so please don't take my advice. Have you ever tried to negotiate paying only a portion of the amount owing, to be forgiven for the rest? This is what happens a lot in extreme debt situations.

I agree, getting someone on the phone is a great first step, then based on what I find out, I can go from there! Thanks for taking time to weigh in. :)shoeaholicnomorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822616952729905352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573001530166413689.post-19746367632379616142014-04-15T12:57:45.577-05:002014-04-15T12:57:45.577-05:00Hi Shoe!

I mean, you just never know now a days. If they are ceasing operations, what I would do is concentrate on paying off that debt. You just never know what can happen with the company, and what a kicking it would be if you needed to have to find the rest of the balance or even have to dip into your emergency savings fund.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573001530166413689.post-89542098481773178562014-04-15T09:40:27.573-05:002014-04-15T09:40:27.573-05:00Thanks Debt Busting Chick!
