Congratulations on your success.
I am trying to clarify something about PFD- Does the collection agency have the power to do the PFD or is it the original credit card company?
I settled a debt a while back with a collection agency (less than the full amount).
I would like to go back now and seek to settle the debt in full if it can be deleted from my credit report.
I am hesitant to begin dealing with these people again as they were extremeley corrupt about the first payment plan I worked out with them (they agreed to a payment plan of more than 50% of the debt in 3 installments if I agreed to wire the first payment the next day- then the next day they took that money and demanded full payment since I didn't have anything in writing from them).
For PFD, should one go back to the original credit card company or deal with the collection agency last dealt with?
