I owe 19,000 on one card at 2.99% fixed, 54,900 at 8.7% fixed and two cards with about 4500 each at about 4.9%. I have excellent credit and can make my payments. My question is what can a debt settlement company do for me?

It sounds like your rates are excellent so unless you are unable to handle the payments at those rates, you probably do not want to consider a debt settlement solution because it will damage your credit score. (…)

The Debt Settlement process sounds too good to be true. I am being told that I have to wait for my bills to go into collection and be sold by the initial company to a collections firm before they can be settled.

Hello, I cannot give you a definitive answer to this question because there are a lot of other details that are required. (…)
