Also, does my high salary disqualify me to get the best debt settlement deal because creditors would think that I could pay it all?
No, just make them feel that you want to pay the money as soon as possible with the new salary. Offer them fast repayment if an appropriate settlement is done. Emphasis on the word "temporary" while negotiating and I am sure they will come with a faster and easy repayment plan.
If you can offer a lump Sum, it will help in getting a better deal.
