Is 20% ok to ask for PFD on an account with DOFD of 07/07?

I am getting ready to send out 2 PFD's to Capital One.  1 has DOFD 05/07 with $1500 balance, 1 has DOFD 07/07 with $1800 balance. 

 

Each had an original CL of $500.

 

Do you think I should start sending a PFD of 20% for each?

Cap 1 doesn't do PFD even if you PIF...

at 20% your only going to pay $360 on a bal of $1800 and the $1500 would be $300. Paying that will still affect your utilization.

It shouldn't affect utilization because it would be considered paid and they would need to reflect a 0 balance.

Why not.  Even though they have a habit of saying no, if you look through the threads, they do say yes.

You are ALL amazing in my book! Smiley Wink

 

SO, here's another question...if I settle and then the SOL runs out, any mortgage lender won't require me to PIF right?
