Collection attorney won’t accept what I can pay… any advice?

@Casey

How old is the debt, and what’s the statute of limitations where you live?

It’s about a year old. I live in Iowa, where it’s five years for unwritten contracts and ten years for written ones.

@Quill
Even if it’s within the statute of limitations, they’d still have to win in court to collect.
