I agree, unless it's from Royal bank. They wanted me to fill out a 21 page Declaration of Financials and notarized before they will consider me for a settlement on a visa debt. I laughed at the lawyer and told him I am not filing for bankruptcy. The only reason they tried this is because I had a home at the time. If they didn’t know about my home, this debt would have been at the collection agency instead of the lawyer’s office. The lawyer that was handling a matter for me at the time told me to throw it in the garbage, which I did.
The home is gone and the debt went to a collection agency. The debt is still not settled and I tried to tell RBC that my home was not worth more then the foreclosed amount , they figured sending a lawyer after me would get their money, I guess they were wrong. The only person that has made money off my matter is the lawyer. I don’t know what kind of crock he gave them.
