About to begin the long road back to good credit by negotiating settlement with my creditors. Anyone have advice or tips that have been through this process?

using the debt settlement company they will contact the actual lenders and settle with them, in turn they get a % of the settlement and it's recorded and closed off.
the collection companies are just going to take your money give you a letter that means nothing, and you still owe the amount listed on your credit report. nothing changes for you, just alot lighter in the pocket book.
if you can deal with your lenders directly.
