My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: I am in California. I have a (collection agency/Lawyer) trying to collect a debt from me. I don't have the money but I told them that I can borrow the money to pay for what they requested....the problem that I am having is that they are trying to structure me missing the deadline that they set so that they can use the information that I say on the phone against me in court. I am and want to pay the agreed amount but they are playing games. I want to resolve the matter but I do not trust them. For example, they state a date and try to give me information where by they say I have to express mail the payment to them and I don't have a way of knowing if the Express mail will get there in time or proof if they received it. I want to send it certified and have them sign for it. I truly think that their plan is for me to send the payment (that I have to borrow from friends) and they turn around and sue me anyway for the full amount, making sure that they screw me over for more than half of the amount and adding on the legal fees/etc. Is there a way that I can make sure that I can make the payment without the game playing. One more note, everything that I mention was what happen at first...... the second time we had put together another deadline and they said that they would send me a letter/agreement but they never sent the letter once again making me miss the dead line that they set. It is just really shady what they are doing and the sad thing is, I am trying to work with them, but they are playing games. My other thought is that they want me to borrow the money and put it in my account and they just push the judgement through and freeze my account and screw me over that way. Any help is appreciated in this matter on how to handle it. I just don't trust them. I am sorry that this post is kind of all over the place.....typing fast\
