Paying off a promissory note

Posted on: 09th Jun, 2009 09:10 am
Hi. I have a $60k promissory note as a result of a short sale. I signed the note with Radian, a PMI company, and I believe the note has been sold to Dyck-O'Neal. This is a 20 year, 0% note, payments are $250/month. I would like to pay this note off for less than the full amount and I'd like to know where to start the negotiations. I have calculated the PV of $250 for 240 months at 8%, it is about $30k. However, I suspect that Dyck-O'Neal paid much less than that for this note and I'd like to know what they will accept as fair compensation. Does anyone know how much promissory notes are typically sold for in these types of transactions? Any advice on how much I should offer would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Lance

You are suspecting that Dyck-O'Neal has paid much less for the note. However, Dyck-O'Neal is charging you an interest rate of 8% and thus I believe that they may have purchased the note at a higher rate of interest.

It will depend upon Dyck-O'Neal as to what rates and terms they would charge you. Your payments would not depend upon the transactions between Dyck-O'Neal and Radian. At the most, you can negotiate with Dyck-O'Neal and check out if they can reduce the rate of interest or not.

The selling price of the promissory note will depend upon the buyer and the seller. I'm afraid that I won't be able to comment on that.

Thanks.

lance, you can certainly try to bargain with this company to reduce the overall debt. if they'll take less than face value now in lieu of continuing payments, good for you. trying to ascertain the price they paid for this note is going to be a fruitless search, i would think. i doubt there's much expertise in this area, as the situation in general is pretty much new to our world.

i owe 4ok from short sale too and Dyck will not budge. They are hard to deal with.

unfortunately, paula, we never got additional feedback from lance, our previous poster. so, we know nothing about how he made out in his attempts at negotiating a reduced payout.

lance, if you are out there, please let us know if you had any success...paula could use an uplifting word, i think.

My promissory note was purchased by Dyck-O'Neal from BOA after I finished a short sale back in August 2009. Looking around here, I feel incredibly fortunate that my note is in the amount of 5k. It's also a 0% interest note. Given my current financial status, it's pretty easy to live with the amount and that I can just pay it off slowly in monthly installments. However, I'm going to contact Dyck-O'Neal and see if they will negotiate this -- just for the heck of it. I really doubt they'd take less on this when they will make such a small amount, and I'd think that they want to make that profit. But it's worth a phone call.

Finally, I have found Dyck-ONeal to be more disorganized than any financial company I have ever dealt with. It's a struggle to get things accomplished with them, and I'm not even disputing my debt.

it is a struggle to get things accomplished with more and more companies, and (apparently) even more so in the financial industry. organization has gone the way of disorganization on a surpassing basis.

Same here I have a promissary note for 10K for the shortsale of my home in July of 2009... In addition to a 5K closing cost I had to pay... i was dealing primarly with countrywide right before B of A changed the companies name... To date I have disputed the note (yeah I know I had to signe it to get the short sale finished) Then cancled on me 3 times with no contact... So needless to say I offered them a settlement but never heard back from them... I think my next step is simply to go bankrupt and take my chances that way... I am already barred from getting another home loan.. Yet I never went in the rears with my other loan I just had a neg arm loan that whey would not modify for me... Then again hindsight I would of been better to of stopped making payments waited 2 years and then try to modify the loan again... Now I am stuck in a rental and have no options... Just goes to prove you can do every thing right and upfront and still get hosed in the end... I live in California just incase anyone is intrested

I do not and have not a contract with Home Saver advance. I did not recive any monies from Home Saver Advance. Please stop sending notices.

Welcome Salvatore,

I can understand your situation. You should contact the Customer Service Department of Home Saver Advance and ask them to stop sending you notices as you haven't taken any loan from them.

Dyck O'Neal bought my note on my second lein after my home forclosed...They are suing me for 30K (23K original plus legal fees) I met with a lawyer who advised me to file Chapter 13....I would rather not do that...If they get a judgement against me, can they freeze my bank account?

Hi Missy!

Welcome to forums!

The lender will be able to garnish your bank account if they get a judgment against you. I would suggest you to contact the lender and check out if they can help you with a payment plan to pay off the dues.

I want to calculate due date for a promissary note issue April 11,2008 and is due after 9 month,
Posted on: 27th Jul, 2010 07:10 am
As far as I can understand your query, January 2009 would have been the due date to pay off the promissory note.
