Unfortunately, my circumstances are unlikely to improve in the foreseeable future and I have no assets to sell to help clear my debt. I am therefore asking you to consider writing off my debt as I can see no way of ever repaying it. If you are unable to agree to this, please explain your reasons.
Yes it does actually work. Collectors rarely actually validate the debt because most of the debts in fact are not valid. Some just back off because receiving a well worded debt validation letter means you have consulted the FDCPA (or at least a good debt/credit forum) and know what you're doing.

Treat the following as a set of general guidelines: Gather complete information before you start writing. Describe your injuries and medical treatment. List your medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages. Make a settlement demand. Include a deadline for legal action if you want to, but don't bluff.

Settlement Cheque: Provide details regarding the issuance of the settlement cheque. Resignation/Termination Date: Specify the date on which the employee resigned or was terminated.
A fair settlement offer typically falls between 30% and 50% of the total amount owed. However, it's imperative to note that this can vary based on several factors, including how delinquent the account is.
Instead, you have to get a 10-day payoff estimate from your current lender, which includes the amount you owe, as well as any interest that might accrue on the principal balance in the next 10 days.
