When it comes to debt you have four main options.
1) Bankruptcy, which is usually a last choice option.
2) Debt consolidation, which is effectively trading (usually more than) one debt for another at a lower interest rate. This is a bit pointless unless you owe on many different accounts.
3) Credit Counseling, in which a company works with your various creditors and attempts to get your interest rate and minimum payments lowered. This tends to prolong the amount of time you're paying off your debt however. The average discount is around 8%, good but not great.
4) Debt settlement, where a company works to settle your debts for an amount significantly less than the original. Up to 50% in successful cases.
You're best bet is to do some research into the various options and see what works for your budget and desired time frame.

Will debt settlement be reported to your employer?
Nope, it is not.... In fact no one else than your creditors get to know about it. The Debt Settlement companies send a letter to your creditors, that is how they get to know. Even in the Credit Report, there is no mention of hiring any debt settlement company. All it says is "settled for less than full balance", which does not reflect at all that you hired someone to do Debt Settlement. Even this thing does not appear instantly, it takes months or years depending on your debt amount and your monthly payments. Thanks!!!!!!!!! This is not a legal advice

Do you recommend debt settlement services Why or why not?
I work for a debt settlement service and i say yes. But you have to choose the right one. There are bad settlement companies out there. Look for one that has a thorough screening process and makes sure you are qualified first. A bad one will want to get you signed up as quickly as possible without asking many questions. You can settle your debt on your own, but a debt settlement service puts you on a savings plan you have to adhere to, most people simply can't save on their own. No offense but people in debt that need debt settlement aren't very good at saving their money or have an extreme hardship that prevents them from doing so. a debt settlement service provides much needed financial structure. Also, they are more experienced in what is going out in the market. You have one Chase account and can settle it on your own, but debt settlement companies deal with thousands of Chase accounts and know when the right time to settle is. Short answer: YES
