A settlement on your will have a negative impact on your credit score. Why? Because you are making a non-full payment of your debt. However, it is safe to assume that if a credit card company is willing to settle your accoutn balance, you are ALREADY delinquent in the timely payments. Thus, your trading apples for cranapples with respect to your credit score. That is, your credit is likely bad continuing to make no or late payments versus settling an account for less than the value of the debt. Seek the advice of legal counsel.
