Question
I have this old bill from AT&T Visa. In April of 2006 the amount owed was 3,868.05. Unifund said as of Friday I owe 5,835.92 but they would be willing to settle for 4,669.00.

I cannot believe since last year the interest on this debt has been almost 2,000,00!

Does this seem right? Should I go ahead and try and validate this debt? And if I do so is there a bigger chance of getting sued?

Unifund told me I have not made a payment on the OC since 2005 and they are close to sending it to litigation.

I do have the money to pay this debt but i just cannot believe the interest in 1 yr is almost 2 grand!  

Answer
Sam,

Yes it seams right.  I know how you feel.  In today's environment requesting validation will only buy you time.  Companies will provide you with that information in about 10 days.  Request a lower settlement.  Tell them you only have 30%.

Good Luck
