    Hiya - I hope they accept and you are able to get them cleared. Not sure about paying one off and not the others, I would check with whoever you have your DMP through to make sure it doesn't invalidate anything, but hopefully you would be able to do that.

    It is really really unlikely buchanan clark and wells will accept your 30% mostly their settlement figures are 60-80% but it does depends on who you actually owe the money to, BCW being debt collectors.
    If you have the money available to pay that kind of lump sum they will all accept it to bring your debt down (though the credit cards may decline if the money is coming from another credit card) but will keep you on the payment arrangment you already have.
    Also i'd say if they refuse, offer the same again, some have a policy of refusing the first payment regardless in the hope of more and can negotiate only on the 2nd offer.
    Sorry to bring bad news but BCW really don't do 30% as normal
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
