1. Check out the article below. You can TOTALLY do this yourself, and you can settle for as little as 30% of what you owe. The article also tells you what your rights are when negotiating. It's a must read. (Rights are on the first page, collection agencies are detailed on the second page.) Once you've settled, do a dispute on your TRW to get your credit score up. The second article tells you how step by step. Hope this helps.
2. Your question could not be answered in one word.find useful tips here.http://debt-consolidation.featured-resources.info/consolidation-debt-home-loan-owning-?.html
3. do it yourself the money that you pay for someone else to do it could be money that you use to pay down mroe debt. YOU can do it
4. Any money that you save from a debt settlement- will be reported as extra income and will be taxable. If you have 20k in debt- and settle for 10k- you will have to claim 10k as additional income. Courtney Kostelecky Founder DebtFreeNews.com
5. When it comes to negotiation paying someone can save you money and make sure the proper steps are taken. However if you do decided to do it your self don't call send letters only and when they call you ask them to send you information in righting agree to nothing answer noting over the phone.
