Debt relief with Bank of America

Q: I have 716 and 732 credit scores, pulled from myFICO. I have 4 small credit card balances and one very large one with Bank of America for $23,300. I am really hoping to get some debt relief from BoA and must try to settle. If I can settle, I would be able to quickly pay off the remaining credit cards. Can I request a debt relief if I have never been late with credit card payments? I do not want to stop paying to preserve my scores. Right now, I am only able to pay the minimum monthly payments, but at this rate I will never get it paid off. At the start of 2010, my salary dropped by $18,000 and I have lived from paycheck to paycheck.
