Disputed Account Settlement is a process through which creditors and debtors come to an agreement on how to resolve a past due account. This process occurs when a creditor and debtor disagree on the amount of money owed or the terms of repayment. This type of dispute can be solved through direct negotiation, legal proceedings, or a third-party mediator. There are several types of Disputed Account Settlements available, including: • Direct Negotiation: This involves both parties negotiating directly to come to an agreement. • Arbitration: This is when a third-party mediator is used to resolve the dispute. • Litigation: This is when the dispute is taken to court for a judge to decide the outcome. • Debt Settlement: This is when both parties agree to settle a debt for an amount lower than what is originally owed.
