The card company generally won't offer a reduced settlement unless you are seriously in arrears with the payments. After all, why would they when they are getting their payment each month and you're not getting out of debt?
Depending on the APR of the card, a personal loan may offer a better deal but only on the basis that you cut up the cards and never use them again.0
