Separate each account

Make a list of who is asking for payment and what amount they claim. Keep statements, transfer notices and offers together. An unfamiliar company name should be clarified rather than treated as proof that the account is—or is not—yours.

Bring the disputed facts

Payments, credits, purchases you do not recognize and previous agreements may matter. After conflict screening, the office can request a focused history. Do not share card numbers or account credentials when making an initial inquiry.

Consider affordability across all debts

An arrangement for one account should be considered alongside rent, utilities, food, transportation and other obligations. Prepare questions about fees, payment terms, consequences of a missed payment and what a completed agreement resolves. A lawsuit or judgment needs its own review.
