How to Settle an Overdue Debt
My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: New York
Hi
Any advice on approaching a debt collector (ASSET ACCEPTANCE LLC) about a judgement that I would like to settle. Should I call or send a registered letter and should I approach with an amount?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I don't see any point in spending money to certify your letter. The fact that they receive it doesn't mean that they have to do anything more with it than drop it in the circular file.
Do you actually know who you are trying to contact? A "to whom it may concern" letter sent to a general address may well also end up in the circular file.

Depends on what you mean by "settle."
Do you have 60% to 80% of the balance in cash to offer?
If not, then what is it you plan on offering?

I'd go with a phone call with the offer. But then make sure you get any agreement in writing before you turn over the money. Keep good written records forever.
