Negotiating with a Credit Card company can be easier than you think because you must remember that you are the one who is control. The credit card company does not want you to get mad and default on your debt so they know that you have leverage over them and it is important to use that leverage. You must be nice to them and professional but always make sure that you leave the negotiation table with what you want. You can always speak with a manager if you fell like you are not getting what you want with the first person who answers the phone.
If your debt has gone into default and you are now talking to debt collectors it is always important to try to resolve your debt with the original debtor because there are situations were the debt collector will lie to you and not pay the credit card company what you agree to pay them. It is better to negotiate with a debt collector through the mail and you can send them a letter telling that this is how you want to be contacted. If you fall into there phone call trap you can be in for a long and bad phone experience. They like to threaten you and make you feel like you are going to jail.
Always remember that when you are negotiating credit card debt that you need to get help form a professional credit agency that has the know how to handle these credit collectors.
