I have returned. My bankruptcy was dismissed as I hoped it would be. I have contacted every credit card company I owed money to. Actually I contacted the collection agencies and attorneys acting in their behalf. ALL agreed to settle for amounts less than the amount owed. One things bothers me. One of the attorneys who I spoke to last week said he contacted the credit card company involved and they agreed to settle for x amount of dollars...This by the way was the same amount the credit card offered to settle with me for back in May just before filing Chapter 7.
I received a letter from this law firm and it said how to make out the payment and who to mail it to but in that wording was the phrase "This payment should not include any references such as paid in full or any other type of restrictive language".
It sounds to me that they want to keep the doors open to pursue me for additional monies down the road. Am I making more of this wording than I should or am I on the money? What can I do to prevent ANY third parties or the credit card company from coming after me in the future for more than the amount we agreed to settle on?
ANY input would be appreciated
Thank you
