Q: Went to court on an unpaid debt. Creditor was granted judgement. I called the creditor to set up payment plan and they w
will not set up payment plan. I have made several offers of monthly amounts that I can pay but they will not accept. When in court the judge told me to call and set up payment plan but now that's not happening. What should I do?
A: Did you call the actual creditor or did you call the attorney for the creditor. If oyu called the actual creditor, then I would contact the attorney for the creditor and make the same request----usually they will either discuss your request and pass it on to the creditor, or they will provide you with a more direct contact number of a person for you to contact to discuss your request. If they are not responsive, then I would recommend that you contact an attorney in general practice, litigation otr debtor relief and consult with them about the specifics of your matter and the best way to proceed. Good luck.
Timothy Denison agrees with this answer
A: Contact the lawyer for the creditor. Usually they have some authority to set up payment plans, negotiate settlements, etc.
