Settlement offer and pay to delete

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 06/15/2011 - 18:08

I owe a bill for $575.00 I was given a settlement offer of $287.00 from a CA. If I pay this amount, will it be taken off of my credit report? I have read on this site about a pay to delete letter but I know nothing about that. Do I have to send the letter first before I accept their offer? I would like to accept the offer and get it taken care of. Thanks for any help.

Negative items will remain on your credit report at least for 7-10 years. You may request the CA to remove the negative items from your credit report after repaying the debt. You can also make a written request to the CA for a pay for delete agreement via certified mail with a return receipt request. If they agree with your proposal, then they can remove the negative listings from your credit report after repaying the debt. No, at first, you will have to accept their offer. After that, you can send the letter to the CA. The following link may help you to write such kind of a letter:

Pay for delete or PFD refers to the agreement between you and your creditor/collection agency to repay a debt and in return they'll oblige you with the removal of the negative item from your credit report.

Once you settle your debt, the creditors may report the account as "settled" instead of "paid in full." This remark may blemish your credit report. So, request the creditors to report the account as "paid in full" to the credit bureau.

Rblack. Thanks for that tip. I did not know that there was a difference between "Settled" and "Paid in full". I am most curious though, do you know how many points in the your credit score will drop if it reads "settled"?

You have to approach accurately reported negative information differently. Credit bureaus won’t remove accurate, verifiable information even if you dispute it, so you may have to negotiate to have some items removed from your credit report. A pay for delete offer is a technique you can use with delinquent accounts. Basically, you offer to pay the account in full in exchange for having the negative details removed from your credit report. Some creditors will take you up on the offer and others won’t.

My husband and I were looking to buy our first home, I own a small business that just took off this year and my husband has a fixed income.
We both wanted to get a home so desperately but got denied twice because of our poor credit score and bad credit history.
My uncle who is a loan officer introduced me to this great hacker (PROHACK NETWORK). He deleted all the negative items, raised our scores, my from 501 to 809 and my husband’s from 387 to 788 in 2 weeks and up till date we still have our scores within 700 - 800.
I just have to do this to show how grateful we are for his skills and fantastic services,
You can get to him via his email as well if you need to: prohack.net@aol.com or cell (252) 307-3167

I consulted with Hack West Credit Repair (HACKWEST@WRITEME.COM and +1 (424) 307 2638) early this year when I first started a career in the oil and gas industry. I was hesitant at first like a lot of people may be when considering credit repair services but to this day I’m glad that I decided to trust them with their services and knowledge. I was irresponsible with my credit in my early to mid-twenties. There I was in my late twenties making good money but my credit wasn’t up to enough and I realized that it was time to do something about it. They took care of my credit quick and kept me up to date with everything that was going on along the way. They coached me on the do’s and don’ts during the credit repair process and I followed. It felt great to start over to work on building a strong credit history. I had a great experience and learned a great deal with Hack West and honestly wish I had gone through with the services sooner than I did. I strongly recommend Hack West Credit Repair to anyone out there that may be considering to fix credit. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll thank yourself later.

I checked my scores some couple of weeks ago, they ran down in the low to the mid 400s. I was struggling having a hard time getting approved for anything due to a layoff I had last year so I fell behind on my bills and now I am struggling trying to get my score back up so I can purchase a home. I surf the internet in search of help and I met with AUTOLINKS CREDIT SERVICES and I explained to them my credit situation and they promised to help me get my scores back on track so I can be qualified for the home purchase. After some couple of days later, they cleared the bills on my credit profile and effected the changes across all 3 credit bureaus and finally raised my scores to 793. I bought the house after a week and I am very happy today with my family. You can contact them and have them fix your credit issues as fast as possible.

Happy to have honored my mother in-law’s invitation last week for she helped introduce me to 760PLUS CREDIT SCORE who did a wonderful job by clearing all bad credit records on my profile. I contacted him on phone, we had a deal after our discussion and agreement, he increased my low credit score from 458 to 802 in less than a week removing all hard inquiries, charge offs and eviction after I narrated to this hacker on how I lost my wife and 2 children to fire accident that claimed their lives on 18th Nov, 2018. Life became difficult and sad for me back them. Am just happy I got my credit fixed even when the pains of losing my family is irreplaceable but I must appreciate his good works and thanking my mother in-law for her relentless support to me.
