Neal GablerOnce the settlement is completed, the credit card company will report it to the credit bureaus, which will then make a notation on your credit report that that account was paid by settlement. That's going to signal to future lenders that you left the last guy hanging. That's why, as with bankruptcy, debt settlement is an extreme option, one you shouldn't take lightly. It's not just an easy, cheap way to eliminate debt.

Craig WattsIf there is any kind of animal which is female and has no male separate from it, it is possible that this may generate a young one from itself.

He brings it into the bank with him. That is why the banker makes him the loan.

Jean ChatzkyIn my own life, as winters turn into spring, I find it not only hard to cope with mud but also hard to credit the small harbingers of larger life to come, hard to hope until the outcome is secure.

Francois de La RochefoucauldIt is to the credit of human nature, that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates.

Nathaniel HawthorneI used to wonder: Is Huxley right or is Orwell right? It turns out they're both right. First you get the new world state and endless diversions as you are disempowered.
