ANSWER: Settling on card card debt should be the last option to take. Unless you write a "Restrictive Endorsement" "By cashing this check Payee agrees to accept this check in full payment of the account as agreed and agrees to remove all derogatory information from Remitter's Credit Reports" on the front of your check, as proof on your bank statement, you will receive a derogatory item on your credit report. Your credit report will state you settled in an amount of less than full. ANSWER: {| |- | In any debt settlement program you are made to default on your repayment for a certain time and then your debt amount is negotiated with your creditor which does show in your credit report. You can rebuild your credit later once you are debt free. Freedom Debt Relief has a good plan called 'debt reduction' which can help you in reducing your debt levels and become debt free in the earliest possible time. They even give help you with credit repair once you are done with the program. |}

How does working with a credit card settlement company affect your credit score?
It is recommended that you pay an old debt through the original creditor. Credit settlement companies are out to make a profit and they will negotiate terms that are not true. Also, it is possible that you can pay the settlement company but still owe the original creditor. It has happened to me. The negative information reported by the credit card settlement company will affect your score negatively.
Can you negotiate with a lender to remove a repossession on a credit report through a settlement of paying less than owed or will the credit report show settlement of partial payment of debt?

What score is your middle score?
If what you are referring to "is there a particular credit bureau that provides the middle credit score", then that answer would be no. Your middle credit score is just that; the score that is in the middle. It could be reported by Equifax, TransUnion or Experian. There is no one bureau that is a middle score bureau. I hope that helps.
