Can I settle with credit card company with no late payments?

Posted by Levi Templeton | No Comments

Q: Pulled credit scores through myFICO, and I have 752 and 779. I have 5 relatively small credit card balances, all under $1,000, and one large one for $17,800. I want to settle with credit card company for around $3,000. If they accept this offer, I would be able to quickly pay off the remaining credit cards. Will a credit card company settle if I have never been late with payments? I do not want to stop paying to preserve my scores. Right now, I am only able to pay the minimum monthly payments, and at this rate it will take forever. At the start of 2010, my salary dropped by $16,000 and I have lived from paycheck to paycheck. And things can get even tougher for me. So here are three questions,
– do I have any chance to settle with credit card company with no late payments?

Bad Credit Unsecured Loans

Posted by Admin | No Comments

Although you will see loans advertised as bad credit unsecured loans, there really is no such thing in the literal sense. Yes, you can get a loan with bad credit even if you don’t own your own home to put up as collateral, but you will need something to prove your creditworthiness which can be a challenge if you’ve suffered with debt problems in the past.
