An out-of-court settlement itself typically does not directly affect your credit score, as it is not reported to credit bureaus like a loan default or bankruptcy would be. However, if the settlement involves unpaid debts that are reported as settled or charged off, it may impact your credit report. Additionally, if you were sued and a judgment was entered against you, that could negatively affect your credit. Always check your credit report for any entries related to settlements to understand their impact.
