If your credit card debt is out of control, you may want to enter into a non profit debt management plan like Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS). They can negotiate reduced interest and payments. They will require you to stop using all credit and to cut up your cards. Your credit report will be updated to “enrolled in debt management.” This does not damage your credit, but it may make it difficult to obtain new credit while you are enrolled in their program….so don’t use this service if you anticipate applying for a new apartment, car loan or mortgage anytime soon, as you would might be denied while you’re enrolled in the CCCS debt management program…You can get a referral at: http://www.nfcc.org

Answer by calcdffirefighter
Debt settlement usually means you settle for less than what you actually owe (bad mark on credit)
Debt relief usually involves consolidating your payments into a single loan. (if reported on your credit it is also a bad mark)
Usually all fast fixes will leave some negativity on your report. Best to try to take out a single loan and pay off your smaller higher interest rate debts first. Or transfer high interest credit cards to lower interest credit cards. It would also be possible to find a private investor who will take over your debts (pay off your creditors) without reporting that it is another loan that is paying off the creditors.
