Assuming you can pay off $45k in 12 months, go with that. It will reflect on your credit report and your FICO better for you if you pay it off rather than settle the account. Unless, of course, the credit card company agrees IN WRITING that they will reflect on your credit report that the account was PAID IN FULL/SATISFACTORY for the $18,000. If that's the case, take the settlement deal and run!!!
