Does settling debt with multiple credit card companies hurt your credit any more than settling with only one?

Debt Settlement Fees - are too high I agree
I started my own Debt Settlement company because I saw that companies charged fees that were simply too high. I dont know why anyone would pay such a high fee before your debt is settled.
I base my fee structure on what I save my client as well as having a sliding scale. So, the more debt they have the smaller my fee. By only charging my fee on what I save them I feel I am actually earning my fee.
I also contact the creditor asap, issue Cease and Desist notices verify debt when needed and stay on top of the situation. I have been able to settle debts very quickly for my clients before they are even late or 20 days late.
I am happy to help, I started doing loan modification and realized a lot of people charged up their credit cards because they were in trouble.
By only charging a small retainer and the fee when the card is settled I believe that is how all companies should work.

It depends on your overall debt to income ratio, late pays and other derogatories on your CBR (credit bureau report). Keep in mind, if your own option is to settle versus bankruptcy, then try to do it BEFORE the debt is charged off on your credit report. A charge off occurs when you have not been able to work out any agreement with the creditor. The creditor will then "charge off" the bad debt (the card company may still own the debt however) and then forward the debt to a third party agency for collections.
I am a third party debt collector and while my company does not own these debts, we do collect for the card companies. A charge off simply means the creditor is removing bad debt from the ledger so that their year end numbers do not look inflated, i.e. assets (monies coming in or owed) that may not have a payment plan in place.
If you settle one debt you may as well settle the others because from my personal experience, if I see you are receptive to settlements then I'm more willing to work with you on a better offer. Also, a SIF (settlement in full) changes the reporting from charge off to "Legally paid in full for less than full amount" on your CBR. This new reporting will help your credit score slowly re-build. Bankruptcy and charge offs are the worst markers on your CBR.
Keep in mind!!! If you are doing a SIF, MAKE sure the creditor faxes or mails you a copy of the agreement letter detailing that this is a LEGAL settlement and will be considered settled in full!!! Get that letter before you pay ANYONE! Also keep in mind you will receive a 1099 from the IRS at year end for any amounts written off over $600, as this is a taxable event.
Good luck and I hope all goes well for you!

It is great that you research before you make any decisions, based on ads etc. There are TOO MANY scam artist out there and as a third party debt collector, I hear all the horror stories that people go through before they get to me for help. It's very disheartening that in this horrible economy some of these sharks are taking advantage of people!
Good luck and keep researching.

I definately agree with the debt collector above. Some companies charge outragious fees. The let you get a charge off, and may wait such a long time before they even contact your creditor. What is the point. You have paid them their fee of 15-18% when you could have paid off a credit card with that money... what if they dont negotiate for a long time. I think those rules should be changed and they should only be allowed to charge a retainer then a % of the savings. Why do they feel they can take advantage of people who are desperate?? Doesnt make sense to me.
Hi Common Sense Debt Relief, I have a question for you, Your jo
Hi Common Sense Debt Relief,
I have a question for you, Your job is to settle after the card has been charged off? I would be interested in know what types of settlement you are allowed to settle for? That way I know when Im calling in for a client. I get so much bull when I call certain cards.
Its all over the board what they are willing to settle for. Anywhere from 18-50% and this is for clients who are current to 6 months late. Some times they are easy some times not. My guess is they get paid a commission, what is your take on why they settle sooner for some clients. Is it the hardship? How can I help settle my clients sooner so they dont have a bunch of lates??
Thank you..

you can refer to your creditors and ask for the settlement .. if the accounts are in third party then you will get good settlement offers .. try negotiating with them . show them you are in hardship
