Will settling a close credit card debt hurt your credit?

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.

Does a secondary beneficiary only receive funds from a life insurance policy if the primary beneficiary has already passed?

Yes. A secondary beneficiary only becomes beneficiary if the primary beneficiary dies before the insured. Say the insured and primary beneficiary are involved in a fatal auto accident but the insured dies an hour before the primary beneficiary. The insurance proceeds would not go to the secondary beneficiary but to the estate of the primary beneficiary. If the primary beneficiary dies an hour before the insured then the secondary beneficiary receives the proceeds. If an insured wants both to receive monies they can name more than one person as primary beneficiary and in what percentage for each person. They could also leave it to their estate and handle distribution by a will.

Is the beneficiary obligated to pay decease debt?

I'm confused... Your the benficiary of what? Life Insurance or a Will? The deceased left debts...and taxes? If you are the beneficiary of a life insurance policy...the proceeds go to you..in full (after paying back any loans taken against the policy), no matter what. Independent of the "estate" of the deceased. If your a beneficiary as in a Will of the decedent...then his bills of whatever type get paid before whatever your supposed to get is available. (If he owes other people they must get paid. It kind of makes sense that he can't leave you money he doesn't really have). Answer2: No. Any debts are paid out of the estate left by the deceased. If the estate is not large enough to cover the debts it ends there. The beneficiary gets nothing but does not assume the debts.

And i had my ears pierced when i was 4 now im 13 and if i leave my earings out for more than an hour the holes will close. Oh yes.
