I think this matter could be resolved within a week if you just ask the lawyer office to fax or send you a letter from Discover accepting your offer. Tell them that within 1 business day of the receipt of that letter you will pay. Getting a letter on the attorneys letterhead is going to be problematic and not as good as a Discover letter. Besides, it doesn’t matter what the attorney says that is important but what Discover actually agrees to.

I think on the SOL angle you are SOL.

Keep me posted.

Thank you for getting back quickly on this matter.

So, if I can get the attorney’s office to write me a letter stating that we agreed on x amount of dollars, it will be ok to send a money order or cashier’s check to them? The letter would be proof enough that Discover/Berman made a settlement agreement? I have tried to get them to come down but they aren’t budging. I think the attorney is upset with me because I had the nerve to challenge his judgment and take him to court so he isn’t going to negociate down much.

Does statue of limitations hold much value anymore? I had been told that it doesn’t.

Thanks again,
Evelyn
