    My cousin has a CC with a 34000 balance at 16%. Called BOA told them he can no longer pay the minimum due( $865) and he was told that they will lower the min due and interest rate if they close the account. I know the credit rating takes a hit when they close the account, but isnt that well worth it? All the money you can save?

    A closed account will probably not hurt as much as a chargeoff. I'd probably take the deal.

    I agree with Hedwig. Tell him to take the deal and pay it off at the lower rate as soon as possible.
