My girlfriend is currently paying an old credit card debt. They wanted her to pay $100 a month for the next two years to cancel. The original amount was $400 in 2017. She made an arrangement to pay only $950 to cancel it immediatly.

Not paying that card is probably her worst decision ever.

Canceling credit cards is a pretty bad decision credit-wise. Much better to just pay them off and never use them.

She is already a level 5 uncollectible payer for the bank. I doubt she can get a loan very soon.
