How Do You Settle Debt With Credit Card Companies?

Submitted by on October 5, 2009 – 10:59 amNo Replies


A web user asks, I’ve got some debt that’s currently in collections. And I got to talking to one of the debt collectors and he revealed that the average company is willing to settle for about 75% of the debt owed.
But since they’re basically screwing you with outragous interest that never allows you to really pay off the principal debt, are they willing to settle for even less.
What are some useful tricks when dealing with these parasites?

Can you help them out? Post your advice!
