When you are behind on payments some collectors will offer to settle the amount owed through a letter and offer to accept an amount close to 50% of your balance once paid within 10-20 days.

This can be done directly with the company by you or you may hire a professional debt negotiator or arbitrator. It is quite the norm to pay 50% or even less of the principal on the debt as a full settlement value.
