What APR can i expect to pay with a debt recovery agency?

Options
Hi everyone,
I currently have a loan with welcome finance which is 55% APR and a credit card with mint that is now 30% APR. I am behind on both of them and have impending default notices if i fail to make the next payments.

I just wondered if letting a debt recovery agency could actually be a blessing in disguise? Granted this will have a very negative effect on my credit rating but my rating is that poor anyway that this does not bother me!

Basically if I let a recovery agency deal with my debt will the interest that they charge be lower than what I am currently paying?

Thanks to all :)
