No you cannot settle student loan debt for less than what you owe. Student loans are federally backed, and will find that student loan lenders will not settle for less than the principal balance that you owe them. The best they can do is offer a deffered payment plan or a forbearance.

If you settle a student loan for a compromised pay off does that hurt your credit score?
This truly depends on the type of student loan to which you are referring, the amount and aging of the debt as well as the status of the loan. A settlement will satisfy the debt for civil law purposes but the loan was not paid as agreed and the loan granter doesn't have to change that status even if it is paid by settlement. The settlement will allow you to lower the amount of debt which will enhance you score. However, this may be offset by the comment that it had not been paid as agreed yet settled. ALSO, very important to get everything in writing INCLUDING the fact that the settlement amount satisifies the entire obligation and the loan holder AGREES TO REPORT THE SETTLEMENT TO ALL REPORTING AGENCIES. Student loans are notorious for old and erroneous reporting. Make that part of the deal. Follow up with your credit bureau to make sure it is done. A settlement is doing the right thing for the future but the true effect may take months or years to show in a FICO or credit report. You are actually lucky to be offered a settlement. They are at the discretion of the lender and often difficult to successfully negotiate. Good luck.
