Pay for delete letter: Negotiate to remove negative listing

What is a Pay for delete letter?

A Pay for delete agreement is normally made with the original creditor or a collection agency (CA) to remove an outstanding debt listing from your credit report.

If the name of the creditor or the CA gets listed in your credit report with a particular debt, you should first ask for debt validation by sending a Debt Validation (DV) letter to the creditor. Once your debt gets validated by the creditor, you need to send a Pay for delete letter.

A Pay for delete letter is sent as part of your negotiations with your creditor for a repayment plan to pay off your outstanding debt. If the creditor agrees to a Pay for deletion agreement, the negative listing gets removed from your credit report once the debt has been repaid in full. You should always get the Pay for delete agreement in writing so you have proof that the creditor agreed to delete the negative listing from your report, if they refuse to remove the negative item from your report after you pay off the debt.

Re: Collection Account for Original Creditor Account Number
Amount: $50.00

Dear Sir or Madam,

This is for your information that I am disputing validity of the debt referred to above. I am not aware of the account number and you have not informed me of the existence of this account.

I am willing to pay this account IN FULL (or a settlement percentage, whichever is feasible) if you agree to immediately delete the account from the credit reporting agencies (namely Equifax, TransUnion and Experian) that you have reported to, and validated this account. My sole purpose is to get this item removed from my file. This letter should not be interpreted as recognition of the debt or acknowledgment of liability for the debt.

If you accept the terms of this agreement, the certified amount of $50 will be sent to your collection agency provided there is complete deletion of any reference to the debt from my file on all the credit bureaus that you have reported to, and the debt is validated. As the full amount demanded will be paid back, there should not be any waiting period to delete this item from the reporting bureaus.

Your agency should delete all information regarding the account from my credit files within 10 business days from the receipt of the payment, as mentioned in this agreement. The terms of this agreement will not be discussed with anyone but the original creditor. No third party will be informed if contacted and no acknowledgment of the debt, any kind of payment, or settlement will be discussed if I am contacted by the Reporting Agencies.

Following the acceptance of the agreement, please prepare a letter on your company letter head unambiguously agreeing to the aforementioned terms and conditions and have it signed by your agency's authorized signatory. This letter will imply a legal contract, enforceable under my state law.

If I do not receive an approval letter within 15 days of your receipt of this letter, I will withdraw this offer.

Please communicate regarding this account to the address mentioned below.

I got a mortgage loan in 2018 through Chase, and in late 2019; I experienced financial hardship and fell behind on my payments. I had months of late payments before I was introduce to this business minded hacker. I’m very grateful to 760PLUS CREDIT SCORE for helping me clear my loans and late payments from my report. I taught it would not be possible for my credit to be fixed within the short period of time agreed on. I want to thank Miss Elizabeth for giving me the information and their contact last month.

I`ve always taught online hackers were scammers and couldn’t
improve a credit score until I met one on a discussion forum when I surf the internet on how to improve my credit score, I read a lady’s comment on how capable RANSOMWARECREDIT is of solving any problems that has to do with hacking. So I sent him a mail and asked if he could raise my credit score and also eliminate eviction off court records. Then he replied yes and asked me to provide him some info of mine he’ll need to run the hack. When I did just that, he completed the hack within 72 hours at a price that’s worth it. I give thanks to the ethical hacker for coming to my aid when I needed help the most. Reach the hacker at: RANSOMWARECREDIT@GMAIL.COM +1 954 416 0322 and you’ll be amazed by his skills.

I never knew hackers could improve a low credit score until I met one on a discussion forum when I Google how to improve my credit score, I read several reviews on how good and reliable 760PLUS CREDIT SCORE is in solving issues that has to do with credit reports. I emailed them and asked if they can raise credit score (all 3 major credit bureaus) and also delete evictions in 10 working days? They replied yes and asked me for some personal info to enable them hack through my profile. I gave everything they needed to get started with the job, last week Saturday my score was increased from 410 to 800. Contact him via: 760PLUSCREDITSCORE@GMAIL.COM or text 1(304) -774-5902. Ensure you recommend him to others as I have done the moment your credit is fixed completely.
