Settlement

A settlement is an agreement between a borrower and lender that differs from or changes the initial terms of the loan agreement. Often, in terms of credit card settlements, a credit card company will offer to remove accrued interest from an overdue credit card. This will lower the payment amount, giving the borrower the chance to make good on the loan.
