reda asked:


I would like to settle a few closed credit accounts that have been charged off and bought out by debt collectors. The collection agency is offering me a discounted rate to pay off this account. If I choose this option, will my credit report eventually show this account closed and paid off, as stated by the agency?

I am an authorized user on 3 major credit cards. I have one individual department store account and one individual student loan account. Should I remove myself as authorized user from 2 of the most recent accounts and get a major credit card individual account? Would that help/hurt my credit?
