When dealing with creditors, I suggest using these letters when offering a settlement to pay off a debt that is owed. If the debt has already been sold to a collection company you can probably settle for less then 50% of the original balance. 


To Whom It May Concern, 

According to your records, I owe an outstanding balance of $_x,xxx- _, in reference to account number ___000-00-000000__________. 

I feel I have a moral obligation to pay this debt I owe; however, I do not have enough money to pay you in full. I would like to offer you a settlement amount of $_35%-_ to consider this account paid. 
Please accept this offer, as it is all I can afford. If you accept this offer; please send me a letter that you are in agreement to the following terms: 

1. You accept a one time lump sum payment of $_35%-__ to satisfy my debt of $__x,xxx-__ owed to you. 

2. You agree to cease collection attempts. 

3. You agree to report to the credit bureaus Experian, Trans Union, and Equifax that this debt has been satisfied. Preferably that the debt has been paid in full; however that decision rests on your shoulders. 

4. You will send proof of satisfaction to me stating that the debt has been satisfied as soon as my funds have cleared. 

When I receive your letter I will immediately send you the agreed amount so I can get this burden behind me. I appreciate your consideration of my offer and thank you for your time. 

Sincerely,

3) My non-payment of the full amount when it is due will leave me in default. If I am in default, you may send me a written notice advising me that, if I do not pay the overdue amount by a certain date, the entire unpaid balance will become due within 30 days after the date on which the notice is delivered or mailed to me.
