I have a Bank of America credit card with a 30,000 dollar limit. The card was stolen, and racked up charges of over 30k, I now owe 32k on the card, I filed a fraud claim, and they found out that the person who stole it was a family member. I did not want to press charges, so I am liable.
Now...
They racked on about $2,047 dollars extra in finance charges and overdraft fees.
Here are my options.
1. Make payments of $1,047 a month where almost $900 goes to intrest alone. (27.99% APR)
2. I can do a payment plan of $610 a month (4.75% APR) But they close my account, and it shows on my credit report that I am under financial difficulties, and affects my credit score.
3. F them dont pay a penny and let it affect my credit.
I guess the issue here is how much worse is it to my credit to do #3 to #2, and how long will it take to recover?
Cliffs:
-Owe money on card
-3 options to choose from (keep in mind my credit score over time)
Please advise.
