Can I settle this debt for less than I owe, and how do I negotiate it myself? DIY debt-negotiation protocol with FDCPA consumer rights, creditor call scripts, estimated settlement percentages, and statute-of-limitations by debt type. For personal-finance and debt-help agents.

price-ascending: candidates are ordered by the listed price of the operation, with no managed-first preference applied. Unlike /v1/apis, this surface does not rank Apiosk-settled listings above federated ones — a comparison that reorders on commercial grounds is not a comparison. Pass sort=managed_first for the catalog's ordering.

Compared: listed price, settlement rail and input compatibility. Not measured yet: latency, reliability, result quality, and provider terms such as rate limits, jurisdiction and licensing.
