Credit Card settlement?

in Credit cards
I wonder if anyone can help me with some good advice. I have been paying off a credit card for many years and don’t seem to be getting very far in clearing the debt. My recent financial situation has declined and I do not want to default on the credit card company (MBNA) and do not want to involve a credit settlement agency as I would prefer to resolve this matter myself. I would prefer to offer them a discounted settlement relative to the debt and what I can afford. Could anyone please give me advice on how to go about it or if this possible at all?
Kind Regards

They normally won't entertain a settlement figure until you miss payments and default on your agreement trashing your credit for 6 years.0
