    Default Settlement Agreement

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: California

    Does the settlement of a debt., where a suit has been raised, have to be resolved with a written document? In other words to satisfy the statute of frauds.

    If so, do you know where the authoritative pronouncement of this resides?

    Default Re: Settlement Agreement

    An agreement to answer for the debt of another must be in writing; not an agreement in relation to your own debt.

    What are the facts here? What's the dispute?
