I had a question on how a settlement would appear on a credit report. I have a student loan that is with a collection agency.. it will show up as past due until it is paid off. Would it be a large ding to my score to pay a settlement and get moving towards a better payment history?

In your opinion, is it necessary to buy a long term care policy if you believe you have enough funds saved within your retirement investments.
