Do Banks View Debt Settlement As A Bankruptcy?

The situation here is far better than you seem to think. Debt settlement can hurt your credit, but does not always do so. Furthermore, even if your credit is hurt when you choose to go down this path, it is just about impossible that it would hurt your credit score even nearly as much as would bankruptcy.

Hector Milla Editor of the “Best Debt Settlement Companies” website — http://www.BestDebtSettlementCompanies.org — pointed out;

Bankruptcy is the single worst thing that you can do to damage your credit and you should avoid it at all costs. Any settled debts that you have on your credit report are similar to a bankruptcy, in that creditors will see them as you being unable to pay those debts, but it doesn't hold the same stigma

Also, the fact that you were unable to pay those debts expires off of your credit score in a pretty short period of time, whereas a bankruptcy will stay on your credit score pretty much forever.
Also, there are certain kinds of debt settlement that won't show up on your credit score at all. In most cases, a creditor will not report to the credit rating agencies if your merely change the terms of your debt, such as the length of time over which you must pay it off or the interest rate that you have.

Also, in certain cases, though rather rare, there will be creditors who can be convinced not to report you to the credit rating agencies simply as a matter of principle.

In either case, what you end up with when you go through debt settlement, rather than bankruptcy, is a credit rating that will be in far better shape than your alternatives. In fact, any of the alternatives would be better than bankruptcy: you could also investigate, for example, foreclosure assistance services, debt consolidation services, or get assistance from the government H.Milla added.
