I need a little advice here. My husband and I each have a card that was first through Providian, then WAMU, and now Chase. We made the tough decision to try to settle our cc debt about the time we got our first cc bills through Chase, which means we have not made any pmts to Chase on those cards. We were getting multiple phone calls per day from Chase at first - I answered them when I felt up to it and my story was always the same: our income has decreased, have had some emergency expenses come up, etc., all of whcih are true.
