several months Is that true I though they would only settle if it
was delinquent? What should I do?

The operative word here is MAY. They don't say they will. Let it go further in default and they may make an offer. They want you to bring it current, and if it's current, there's no reason to settle.

It's actually the opposite, the longer you are behind the better the settlement you'll get. When we were behind on our chase cc, by a month or two the best they offered us was about 75%. A month or two later 50%. In the end we settled for 30% at about 4-5 months behind.

I just kept telling them I couldn't afford payments and the only reason I could do a settlement was I had a family member who would lend me the money only for a settlement, to explain why I couldn't afford a payment, but could afford a settlement. Keep a good log of your conversations, date, time, who you talked to, details etc. In the meantime, try to pile up cash. Chase will do 30% in a onetime lump sum payment. The closer you get to 180 days (chargeoff date) past due the better the offers. Good luck

The next time you call them, try to speak to a supervisor. Tell him about your financial position and that you can only go for a settlement. The longer your account remain delinquent, the better are your chances to get a good settlement offer. Stick to your offer.
