How do you negotiate a paid Judgement?
Go over your income and expenses with a fine-tooth comb, figure out what you can afford, and only agree to pay a realistic amount. Generally, you can negotiate the best settlement on a debt if you can come up with a lump sum amount to resolve the debt. If you agree to a payment plan, you will likely pay more over time.
How much should I offer to settle a Judgement?
It depends on what you can afford, but you should offer equal amounts to each creditor as a full and final settlement. For example, if the lump sum you have is 75% of your total debt, you should offer each creditor 75% of the amount you owe them.
