How do people negotiate with the people they owe money to? Does it work?

jacksmom asked:


I have seriously high bills that I can’t pay. But I don’t know how to approach the people I owe that money to and successfully talk them down. I’ve heard that it’s possible, and I’ve known some people that it worked for, but I’m clueless. Help?

    Some places require you to pay off your bills in full.

    Others are willing to take a cut.

    Your best bet is instead of avoiding them, explain your situation and offer to pay a small amount. Divide up all of your bills and pay 10-20 bucks to each. Maybe pay a little more to the smaller ones to get them paid off quickly, and then add that money to the next smallest. Eventually you will only have a few big ones, and all of the cash will be going towards those.

    Avoid adding more debts in the meantime - do without stuff, or sell some stuff off to pay for things. Once you have gotten on top of your bills, then you can go back to buying stuff - but try to be aware of what you are buying, how you will pay for it, and how much interest you will end up paying. Interest is the biggest killer - and a lot of people don’t realize how damaging it is.
