Re: Case Numbers #: XXXXXX-XXXXXXX, XXXXXX-XXXXXXX, & XXXXXX-XXXXXXX
Balance Amount: $1,750.00
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to see if you would be willing to make a "goodwill" adjustment to my account. I am in the business of insurance and my pay-structure is commission only. During late 2005 and early 2006 I had just started working for a new company and lost all my previous clients with my past employer due to a non-compete agreement. It took me a few months to get back on my feet financially. Because of my extenuating circumstances, I would like you to consider removing the three judgments from my record. The judgments were due to late rent payments. I was unaware that these judgments existed until I pulled my credit reports earlier this year. I hope that your office is willing to work with me on erasing this mark from my credit reports and public records.
This letter is an offer to amicably settle the above account. The purpose of this offer is merely to have this item removed from my credit files and is not to be construed as an acknowledgment of liability for this debt in any form. The validity of this debt is disputed.
I am willing to pay the amount of one-thousand seven-hundred fifty and 00/100 dollars ($1,750.00) as full payment of this account if you agree to immediate deletion of this account from any and all credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion).
If you agree to the terms and accept this agreement, certified funds for the amount of one-thousand seven-hundred fifty and 00/100 dollars ($1,750.00) will be sent to Attorney PLC in exchange for full deletion of ALL references regarding this account from my credit files and full satisfaction of the debt. As certified funds will be used for payment, there shall be no waiting period regarding the deletion of this account from the credit reporting agencies.
Attorney PLC agrees to delete ALL information regarding this account from the credit reporting agencies WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS following receipt of payment as specified above and will not discuss the terms of this settlement with anyone, excluding your client on this account. If contacted by any third party, including credit-reporting agencies, Attorney PLC will not acknowledge that any settlement offer was made, accepted or executed and will, in fact, deny knowledge of any such account.
If you agree to the above terms, please prepare a letter on your company letterhead explicitly agreeing to the same terms as the above settlement offer and have it signed by an authorized representative of Attorney PLC. It will be implied that this letter shall constitute a legally binding contract, enforceable under the laws of my state. Upon receipt of this signed acknowledgment, I will promptly send certified funds in the amount stated above.
Notice: This agreement is restricted. This is not a renewed promise to pay, but rather a restricted settlement offer only. Your response must be postmarked no later than fifteen (15) days from your receipt of this settlement offer or this offer will be withdrawn and I will request full validation of this alleged debt, as provided for by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and you will agree that the debt has not been renewed nor have any concrete written agreements been exchanged.
I hope that you will deeply consider my request and I forward to your reply. Please address all correspondence regarding this account to:

I understand the impact to the apartment complex at the time of default. I learned a very valuable lesson which is to have savings that will carry me through times like this. ### years after the fact, I am attempting to provide a stable and secure life for my family and these items are a huge detriment to being able to do that. I understand that what I am asking is very unusual, but I beleive that my woffer of payment shows my sincerity and the progress I have made in handling financial responsibilities. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
