Repo:paying 2K instead of 26K

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Repossession : One Thread

My mobile home was repossessed ayear and a half ago. I have an agency offering to let me pay 2000 instead of 26K. Is it possible to do this and have a 0 balance on my credit? Also, will I get a letter from the IRS saying that I made income of 26K because of the house? They said the next step is to go through lawywer to obtain there money and it would be 26K.

Providing you get it in writing that they will take 2K as 'Full & Final Settlement' I don't see a problem.

Melissa -it doesn't work like that in the States (sorry Julie!). Find a site that deals with US repo's and repost your question.
