If you can negotiate payment, but I can get an affordable monthly payment plan, you should use an overdraft loan (configured for my checking account) to pay off credit cards? The interest rate is much lower and it would be a payment as well as a significant reduction of the debt on my credit card.

not going to negotiate. Payment is all or nothing.
accept the agreement also means you cancel your card.
by overdraft loan is actually doing a very good idea if you can not get the money in other ways – lower interest rate on the lower amount due is equal to long before the reward.

btw, the amount of the credit card company is a loss of taxable income for you and will be reported to the IRS next year. also goes on your credit report as a charge off.
You should negotiate with them and not add any derogatory information in your credit report. Make sure a letter was sent before paying them. Take your offer and pay overdraft.
be wary of offers for payment reductions. It will affect your credit negatively. (You will be shown as a charge for lump sum). You would be better to negotiate a payment plan or the amount of bank loans and pay.
Remember, all neg. IFO remains on your credit for 7 years and could really hurt when you most need good credit.
