Full question:

I was laid off my job in 2002 after 9-11, and since that time I have worked as a volunteer for my church. I am paid donations from week to week. I accumulated almost $23,000 in credit card debt over a 3 year period and after unemployment insurance ran out, I did not have funds to keep up expenses. I want to pay off these debts, however, 80% of them have individually offered "payoff balances" anywhere from 40-80% of the entire amount I owe. I want to pay them off as soon as I can, but I don't want to pay them off at face value. How can I arrange to get payoff balances so they will still be good when I have cash in hand?
