Negotiating a lower payment is one way to pay off your credit card debt at a lower cost. When the lender agrees to settle your debt for a lower amount, say $500 on a $1,000 debt, part of the debt is cancelled.

For example, did you know that you can request proof of a debt's validity when a collector first contacts you about it? If the collector can't prove you owe the debt and that they are authorized to collect on it, they can't legally continue collection efforts.

18 Jan 2012 at 5:01pm

Over the years, the debt relief industry has gotten a bed reputation thanks to companies who signed consumers up on expensive plans without completely explaining those plans.

In October 2010, the Federal government passed a law to end many of the predatory practices that debt relief companies engaged in. Notably, most for-profit debt relief companies, that includes debt settlers and consolidators and credit counseling agencies, can't ask you for an upfront payment and they must disclose all costs and negative consequences upfront.
