How We Help

Credit card debt settlement means negotiating with the creditor (or its collection agency, debt buyer, or lawyer) to resolve an account for less than the full balance when your circumstances support an offer. Settlements may be paid as a lump sum or through an agreed payment plan, depending on the creditor and your ability to fund the settlement.

A settlement can reduce the total amount paid, but it will also affect your credit and have potential tax consequences. Creditors are not required to accept a settlement, and every case is different.

Credit card collections, lawsuits, and judgments

Many people reach us after a credit card account has been charged off, sold, or sued. Timing matters. If you have been served with a lawsuit, call promptly so we can discuss negotiation, court deadlines, and whether bankruptcy’s automatic stay may be a better shield. See sued for debt and wage garnishment.

Credit card settlement vs bankruptcy

We handle debt settlement, Chapter 7, and Chapter 13. Credit cards are dischargeable in Chapter 7 and can be included in Chapter 13 plans. Settlement can make sense when you can fund offers, or when only a few accounts are the problem. Bankruptcy may fit when balances are high relative to income, too many different creditors are chasing you, or you need broader protection (garnishment, foreclosure, repossession). If you already know which option you want, just let us know and we’ll get your case started.

FAQs

Can you settle credit card debt in Georgia?

Yes. We can and have successfully negotiated with all kinds of credit card companies, collectors, and debt buyers when your hardship and funding support an offer. Just note that results vary depending upon the creditor and your circumstances.

Will credit card settlement hurt my credit?

Yes. Settled accounts are usually reported as settled for less than owed, and all missed payments prior to settlement hurt your credit score. We discuss credit and possible tax consequences before you decide.

What if I have already been sued on a credit card?

Call promptly. The earlier we can start the settlement process, the better. We can discuss negotiation and court timing. Bankruptcy may also stop lawsuits through the automatic stay.

Is settlement better than Chapter 7 for credit cards?

It depends on your income, assets, number of creditors, and ability to fund settlements. Chapter 7 can wipe out all credit cards for qualifying filers. We handle debt settlement and Chapter 7 — whichever is best for you.

Do you only help people in Metro Atlanta?

No, we can handle credit card settlement cases throughout Georgia. We have offices in Johns Creek, Monroe, and Snellville but we can do phone and video consults no matter where you live.
