'i'll settle' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'get rid of credit limits' is the wordplay.
'get rid of' becomes 'lose' (I've seen this in another clue).
'credit' becomes 'cr' (abbreviation).
'limits' indicates putting letters inside (limit can mean to contain or block off).
'lose' placed inside 'cr' is 'CLOSER'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for closer that I've seen before include "one concludes" , "more reticent" , "Nearer in time or space" , "Nearer or more intimate" , "Not so far off" .)
