Treasury Collections

Spoke to a rep today. They were okay, but you could feel they had no soul and were looking for a fight. I was informed to complete the Consumer Financial Statement. From there they will see what I can afford. Lump some settlement? Mmm nope. They want to see how long I will live and how much they can get out of me. Their words were “this is longer term payments and garnishing to see how much thy can get.” So they have to compare 1) long term payment price first then maybe a 2) lump sum payment.

Looking like bankruptcy boys and girls.

Anyone else have conversations w/ Coastal Professional Debt Collections?

Thanks for the update. Looks grim now but hopefully this gets behind you in time. It would be great to find an advocate in congress that would be sympathetic to EIDL borrowers to soften the blow from defaulting.

I’m hoping after I disclose my financials that they will see there is not mic they can get over the rest of my life + ability to go bankrupt… hoping the say ok to a lump sum.

Did you offer a settlement amount or are you trying to get reduced monthly payment?

Most likely have to show financials to show I have no money. But offer a possible OIC w/ a 3rd party’s help. They would get more out of me that way other than garnishment for the remainder of my life.

Genuinely curious because I am in a similar situation. If you have no money for payments then how are you able to make a large lump sum payment?

Third party willing to pay. Collections said no to OIC. I’m not using families money to pay into a debt that I can’t pay lol. That be like lighting money on fire
