Settlement

Settlement, in our context, is defined as negotiating with a creditor to pay off a percentage of the total debt balance either by reducing or dismissing a certain amount of the money owed. Once the settlement is complete you will send the agreed upon funds directly to the creditor. Once paid, your debt to the creditor is considered Settled in Full. You will no longer owe the creditor anything and the account will be closed.
