This already exists, its called debt negotiation and they advertise the crap out of it.
Basically they take someone with a ton of debt who already has destroyed credit, and have them pay into a trust every month instead of paying their credit card bills. Every so often the company calls up a card issuer and tries to negotiate along the lines of "I have these N people with $10,000 in debt each, will you take $1,000 cash from each of them today?"
The super sneaky part is that after they have settled all your debt, your credit is totally hosed. However you've made good on 36 or so monthly payments to them, so they know you can continue to pay them and you are now free of other debts, and will issue you credit based on this insider knowledge (which you accept because they are the only ones willing to extend you credit at this point).
