Well, I would imagin that ANY positive action would be favorable yo NO action. A settelment my not look as good as 'Paid in Full", but "Paid as agreed" sure beats an open collection account.
yes
Actually, it does. It uses the available credit you have so when that goes down the credit score does too.
it would really depend on the age of the debt, if it is more than 6 months, leave it alone. By settling it it becomes current news not old and forgotten. It will make you feel better about paying your debts but will actually harm your credit score. You'll sleep better at night but your credit won't.
NOT really. All I know is party is cats and raining dogs and mice and food
I recent late payment on an open account can hurt your credit score up to 60 points.

Canceling your card can hurt your credit score..... SORRY!! You should not cancel even if you intend not to use it. One credit secret is the more available credit not in use the better you look. I.E. percentage of revolving debt compared to available-it helps reduce that and increase your number.
No. It will show on a credit report as an account closed due to inactivity. It has no effect on your credit score.
A credit card may negatively impact a credit history in a few ways. 1. Paying your credit card late will hurt your credit. 2. Keeping a high balance on your credit cards will lower a credit score. 3. Going over the credit limit will negatively impact your credit score.
Yes, credit card consolidation will affect your credit score. It will show on your credit report for at least five years, it doesn't hurt as bad as bankruptcy however.
OF Course it does! IF you just got bankrupt it does hurt your credit score really badly!
No. A library fine is not reported to credit agencies. Late payments on a credit card or mortgage are reported to credit agencies.
you just hurt your score a little by closing a good account, it is always best to just leave the account open and just keep a zero balance and sock draw the card.
