Can you negotiate a lower payoff on a credit card debt?

Answer

The company/bank may be willing to negotiate a settlement to avoid the consumer filing bankruptcy. Or perhaps to avoid pursuing legal remedies to collect the debt. They will not consider a settlement if the consumer is simply asking to pay less than the full amount. For obvious reasons.
