I am going to take out a loan to pay credit card bills already approved my credit score is 715 now. If I call the credit card company and ask them for a settlement amount to be less than i owe would hurt my credit alot. or should I just pay the balances owed and forget the whole idea. I have never been late with any bills or been turned down for a loan just my credit card debt is huge.

By all means pay in full. Your credit is too good to settlement anything if there is any way to pay. How much money are we talking?

Thanks! I thought you were going to say that. I guess I just wanted to try what some others try but okay pay in full I will do thanks. The answer to your question 70,000.00 but I can repay in 5 years at 5.99 thats not so bad i guess.

Depends on your income and ability not to continue debting
If your debt becomes more than 45% against income, meaning monthly income minus monthly debt on car, home / rent, credit cards and any other revoling debt, then you are considered insolvent by most lenders.
In this instance i would say settle.
