    Default I have been offered a settlement. Should I take it or not

    Ive been offered a settlement amount for a store card that is 85 days passed due. The bal owed is 1600.00 ruffly there offering me 1100 but will show legally settled for lesser amount and this was offered in a letter that they sent to me. Should I settle or wait until I could pay the full amount which by that time could be hundreds more I have to get back to them by the 17th of this month any

    I would send they a pay for deletion letter. Tell they you will pay the 1100 if they delete the trade line from your credit report. They might say no, but it doesnt hurt to try.

    If you have the funds, and can afford the settlement, I'd say it's a smart move to accept their offer.
