We owe approx. 21k on credit cards. The settlement company projects we will pay about 14-15k and at the payment we can afford it will take 5 years.
Would it be better or easier to just declare bankruptcy? I know a chapter 7 is pretty devastating to credit reports, but we could start rebuilding credit much faster.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.


5 years for 21k in debt !!! That is retarded. You won`t save hardly any money doing that long of a program with that small of debt by the time you factor in late fees , penalties ,and interest. Odds are you will get sued doing a 5 year program. Any settlement company willing to put you in a program longer than a 36 months with only 21k in debt is not looking out in your best interest. What was the names of this company ? I would bet money that the company that quoted you was named Credit Solutions.
