Q: I settled with a debt collector money order never arrived at the destination
I settled with a debt collector years back sent in a money order never arrived at the destination when I sent the money order at usps it was in transit for months and I just never followed up on it how would I go about resolving this for the amount that we settled upon or do I have to pay the full amount I have proof that I sent it if that helps
A:
Based upon what has been reported to us as bankruptcy counsel, our best advice is to deal directly with whatever creditor is pursuing you. The "collector" charges a fee for its service, and that fee is passed along to you, whether disclosed or not.
You should be able to get your $$ returned from whoever sold you that money order, if you have proof of purchase.
