1. Step 1) We can all be honest here--no one likes to deal with creditors especially when you have a late bill. However, sometimes creditors, especially during this rough economic recession, are willing to work with you to pay off your bill. The first step in dealing with creditors is having your CONTRACT ready. Are there ways you can get around the provisions in the contract? Write them down.

2. Step 2) After writing down the provisions that you would like to dispute, give the creditor a call and talk to someone--an agent--who has the authority to represent the company on contract negotiations. Tell them your grievance and see if you can find a middle ground where both of you agree.

3. Step 3) If you do find a middle ground both of you can agree on, write an offer to the creditor, sign it yourself, have them sign it, and keep it for your records. This is a great way of negotiating with creditors. It always helps to bring the law in whenever handy to protect you against unauthorized charges. I hope this helps. Good luck!
