My wife and I have settled 2 credit cards thru a debt settlement company with no problems. We are now in the process of settling hers, this is the last one. But, now it was sent to a law firm and now she has to go to court. We have a little saved up in our acct. w/ the settlement company. Was wanting to know if this has happened to anyone and if so, when you went to court were still able to pay off your debt when a settlement was reached or what.

The credit card account was closed and the collection agency offered me a debt settlement for 1500 dollars less. I took the option and paid off the account. They sent me a letter saying account was satisfied. However I lost that letter. Now I need it for employment purpose because they want to make sure I don’t owe money. Will the credit card company still be able to fax me a letter saying account was settled?
It’s not showing that I owe money. I had to mention to my employer if I "made negotiation with creditor". I answered yes and in details provided that I paid off the debt settlement. Now my employer just need proof of that payment.

I was going to go with a debt settlement company, but I am getting way to nervous about it so I think I am not going to do it. For some reason my gut is telling me not to go with them. They want their fees first before they start working on my debt which makes me think they will just take their money and run.

So I was wondering can I settle my own debt with my credit card companies? I have been reading a lot of articles that say the credit card companies are willing to settle your debt for less now so they will still get paid some of it? What is the best way to do this…I would like to do it on my own so I don’t have to pay anyone else. That way I also know that my debts will definitely get paid off. One of the issues I have though is let’s say I have ,000 on a credit card and call them and they agree if I pay ,500 of it they will mark it as paid in full. I don’t have the 00 right away do you know will they let me pay the ,500 off without fees and over a payment plan? How does all of this work when you are trying to do it on your own?
As of right now I am 3-4 months behind on paying my cards off.

They’re saying they can settle for around 50% or less. But the web address URL ( http://www.americandebtsettlementgroup.com ) doesn’t work, however they are listed in the BBB under this law office: http://data.phoenix.bbb.org/commonreport.html?bid=97015677

Anyone ever tried American Debt Settlement Group? Or any other debt settlement or debt consolidation companies?

I have been told that now is the time to do debt settlement if you are currently unemployed and recently widowed. A lawyer has said this is the time to do it while the window of opportunity is open all because of the bad economy situation. What do you think?

I had three payday loans worth 0. With intrest they were like 00. After my account went to collections, I kept telling them I am doing everything in my power to pay my loan off. Then when I had the lump sum, two of the companies both agreed to settle my accounts in full for the original amount of the loan, without all the interest and high fees. My one loan was 0 and they settled for 8. Then my other loan was 500 and they settled for 400. The debt settlement company wanted to charge 300 and then 50 bucks amount, so anything extra would be used towards the loan. It seems like it would have cost a lot more to use the payday loan settlement company. All they can do in the end is ask for a lower amount.

There has been considerable debate between two specific debt reducing options: debt consolidation and debt settlement (negotiation). I’m trying to decide which is the best option to select if one wants to reduce their financial debt (specifically credit card debt). I’m sure there’s pros and cons to both options, however which is more effective? Please advise.

I am looking into settling my debt and know there are many fraudulent companies out there. So I would like to know if anyone has used a debt settlement company, if so, which company did you use, how long have you been paying off your debt with that company, and how is your experience overall with them. What were their fees for settling your debt? Any feedback would be GREAT!

I’m not sure if this is even possible but can someone make a debt settlement offer if there account isnt in default? I’ve recently had an opportunity to work some over time and save some money and I have a few accounts that I would like to close out and pay off. I’ve heard of some people making offers with credit card companies to settle their debt and close their accounts but their accounts have always been in default where mine are not. If its possible how would I go about doing it.

I did not understand what a debt settlement company was all about. I thought I did but I soon found out it was not what I thought. I have made a mistake! They have a lot of my money and I thought I was doing the right thing. I just want to get my bill paid. Thank you.
