After receiving positive PFD response, what is the next step.

[sixfour1]

I got a letter from Credit Managment, LLC, saying that they will accetp my offer for PFD.  What would be the next step? Should I pay with a certified check, cashiers check, money order, etc. I do not use personal checks so I don't have them.  Also should I send this certified like I did the original letter. Thanks in advance for any help.

If you have a PFD letter where they state their intentions to remove the mark from your report, then you can feel free to pay with whatever payment type you are comfortable with that they accept. You can send certified if you want, just so you know it got there, but not necessary. The PFD agreement from the company is the more important thing.

I'm wanting to send a PFD letter to them as well but I've been reading alot of comments stating they are hard to deal with. If you don't mind could you give some information on what it was you did/wrote to get them to accept. Congrats on them accepting your request for PFD!
