The 1st gives an example of lowering the interest rate on the cc.
The 2nd consolidates the debt. At what interest rate?
My favorite cause: cssy.org

Major pet peeve of mine (I am biased though). Calling yourself a gemach to one group of people and a business to another when you charge the same rates.
Also none of those rates are anything near cheesed

Same company as can be seen on the bottom of the webpage

My experience has been, getting a 0% apr card and moving debt over and paying ..

Question is if you can get another card
And can you pay ?

But you cannot beat interest on a cc. Some cards will suspend interest but that comes with closing the card .

You can also negotiate the balance but that will also close card

What does this do to your credit score?

If you negotiate a settlement, is it really bad for your credit?
