크레디터와 채무금액 관련하여 협상을 하고자 할 때,
#1. 크레딧 카드 회사 고객서비스에서 먼저 제안을 한 경우, 이 금액이 다소 높아 거절하면서 낮은 금액으로 다시 제안하는경우입니다. 물론 크레딧 리포트 내용도 paid in full로 정정하는 내용을 담고 있으므로, late payment, charge-off 등이 기록된 분들이라면 한번 고려해 보실 수 있습니다.

Dear Creditor,
Re: Account Number__________
I appreciate the fact that your company is willing to negotiate with me for settlement of my debt. This letter is to make a counter offer in response to the amount your customer service representative wants me to pay for payment of debt in full. The amount that I wish to offer you for payment of my debt is $__________.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to pay all my creditors. So, I can only settle debt with those creditors who're willing to meet my terms. However, I've been able to negotiate successfully with a couple of creditors and I doubt if I'll have enough funds remaining at the end of this month.

While I settle the debt, I'd request you to help me remove any negative listing (late payment, charge-off etc) on this account from my credit file. In fact, I'd be willing to offer you more money if you can report my account status as "Paid in full" to the credit bureaus.
If you find these terms agreeable, please sign the attached letter of agreement and return a copy to me. Upon receipt of this signed acknowledged agreement, I will send you a money order in the amount as
stated above.
Yours truly,
Your Signature
