lea - for next week off! Im off too! Shall i over!
Ladies, my credit card company is willing to settle with me for 55% less than what I owe! I spoke with DH and he's going to think about it...there's over a $4,000 difference in taking the settlement vs. paying off the whole thing (which we were originally going to do) BUT settling does come at a cost. It will go on my credit as a settlement ie, paying a creditor for less than what was due. So DH has to think about it and let me know. We won't be able to get a mortgage for at least another year, and with all my other bills being paid on time....I say go for the settlement but....I'm not the financial wiz of the family.

You should do it.
