Be Ready with Funds
Before you decide to a credit card debt settlement, you have to prepare yourself with money to pay off the settlement amount. But if you don’t have enough money, try to borrowing the amount with a low interest.

Call Credit Card Company
If you feel ready to go, call the credit card company. Prepare your card, statements and bills in front of you while talking and be polite in explaining your current financial condition and reasons for going a debt settlement.

Debt Negotiation
Can start with a low percentage maybe around 25-30 percent of the debt amount. But usually, your negotiation with credit card company will falls within the range of 30-50 percent.
