Do-it-yourself Debt Settlement
It is possible for a consumer to imitate the methods of professional debt settlement companies and many people report success in negotiating a debt settlement for themselves. Initiation of negotiations can begin by calling the customer service department of the credit card company.

A payment plan is not an option; the credit card company will demand that the consumer make a lump sum payment of the settlement amount.
