If possible pay the entire amount. A settlement is better than nothing, but paying off the debt is the best option.

Can you dispute the amount that a creditor lists as charged off or written off?

These are a few questions you need to ask yourself. 1. Do you have proof the the actual balance that should have been shown. 2. Have you taken into consideration late fees, intrest charges, costs of collections attempted and costs of attorney. I am a loan officer at my place of employment and this is a small little ditty we put on our loans and member must sign that they were told this. You need to read your copy of your agreement with a fine tooth comb. Actual costs of collections including court costs and attorney fees may be applied to the balance of your loan if you default on your agreement. If you still belive the amount on your credit report that was charged off is false you need to have your attorney speek with the creditor in question and have them prove/break down the charges added onto your balance. If they cannot come up with this call the credit bureaus and request a change with doing so you must show proof of the balance in question being lower than shown on the report.
