      5. Negotiate what you owe

Collection agencies often purchase debt for little amounts, they make a lot of profit if they can recover the original      amount, this makes an opening for negotiations.  You may be able to negotiate a settlement for 25% or 30% of              what you originally owed. Always remember to keep evidence of whatever is agreed upon.
