If I really want to buy a home, I guess I will have to bite the bullet and start settling debt with the creditors who will not accept a PFD. What is the least amount you were able to get a CA or OC to agree to settle your account? Should I start with offering ten percent? Also, before I send in my settlement check, should I receive their agreement in writing? I don't want to be laughed at, but I really considered offering a hundred dollars to each CA. Think this will work? Most of my negative TLs are from low-limit credit cards. 350 limit, 145673567 in added random fees.
