Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia
Unsecured Credit Card Debt
I owe $50K to two CC companies. I can no longer make the monthly payments. To satisfy the debt I can sell some real property once the market begins moving, but not now. What are my duties and rights for negotiating a deferred payment option?

See a lawyer. You have no rights to a deferred payment plan. They can do quite a few things to you if they choose. A lawyer may be able to find choices for you to eliminate the debts or pay them over time.

You have a duty to pay as agreed. You have no "right" to negotiate or get different terms than you agreed to in your card agreement. Whether or not they will work with you is not a legal question - ask them.
