To settle debt or pay in full?Paying in full looks better on your credit report. If you don't have the means to do so, then by all means, settle.

What do you mean? What does settlement do to my credit?

Settlement doesn't do drastic damage to your credit per se--that's because whenever you settle, your accounts are already behind on payment to begin with, so your credit already has the marks of damage that being unable to pay for your bills on time causes. What it does instead is allow you to pay for an amount less than the full balance, and if the forgiven amount is $600 or greater, it has to be reported to the IRS as taxable income.I hope that helps you in your decision making process whether to settle debt or pay in full.
