They will know because the creditor reports it to them.

You will not get anywhere by calling and telling them. But you can send proof of your payment in full via certified mail. Request that they send a complete credit report showing the accounts paid, or settled, whichever is correct.

Better to pay in full or settle a credit card debt?

In most cases, it is always better to pay the credit card off in full because the payoff is best for your credit rating.

Should one file for bankruptcy or settle with credit card company?

I have been considering claiming bankruptcy for quite some time now. I have no money and am a student. I was injured on the job a few years back and am going to be receiving a settlement offer from the worker's compensation company soon. The settlement would pay half of my credit card debt. Should I try to settle with the credit card company for less than I owe? Or should I still claim bankruptcy like I was planning originally? If I claim bankruptcy, will the money I get from the settlement be up for grabs? If so, can a bankruptcy lawyer negotiate a settle-for-less deal? Help!
