Why not settle up with your credit card company by offering a credit card debt settlement?

You can reach an agreement to pay a lump sum or a monthly payment and in exchange no more interest is applied to the account. If you elect to pay a fixed monthly cost, then you will know how many months it will take until the balance is cleared and you are free.

The debt collector you will speak to has been highly trained to exploit any weakness. If you are hesitant then they will push harder in the hopes you will agree to pay more. If you make an offer, they may even feign laugher and tell you that their boss would never agree to that kind of offer. Just remember it is all a ploy. If you want to play that gave too, you can say that you discuss all financial matters with your partner too and you have already discussed and agreed the maximum you can offer. If they want more, you will have to talk again and call back. These sort of games, often in poor taste, are typical of this industry.

In order to avoid some of this, you want to go in with as many facts as you have. If you think you can afford $120 a month but you are not sure, the negotiator can easily push you up to $160 a month. If you have done your numbers and you know that you cannot afford a dollar more than $120, then you will be more resistant to their pushing you to offer more. Pull your statements out for the last few months and figure out what you are spending. See what you can offer and then make that call to the creditor and negotiate your credit card debt settlement today.
