I have an AMEX charge card with 300k balance which my mother used for her business. She had difficulties with her business for a while and couldn't make payments anymore. I don't want to sue my mother so I have to negotiate as much as I can.
We stopped making the payments on this card for 8 month now and my collection has transferred twice. I would like to know where to start.
Is it harder to get negotiation with higher amount of debt? I read many articles about negotiating with collectors to 20% - 50% amount due but my debt amount is much higher than many people and this seemed like a different case. With my school loan of 200k, it will be impossible for me to pay 500k..
I would appreciate any advice!!

On a side note..
My girlfriend and I were planning on getting married this year but this happened. Now I'm considering on staying as a single because I don't want to give her my burden if we get married. We found out that my girlfriend's father had cancer last year so my only excuse to be staying with her is supporting until her father survives cancer.
Trusting and caring family is good but I hope no one else makes the same mistake as I did..
