Beyond JEALOUS lol ... i caved and paid them, but no agreement to delete. I have been GW them ever since... but no luck... i send emails at least 2x's a week and have been mailing ltrs once a week for over a month now... say a little prayer for me!!! And congrats
Congrats.
I never understood the mindset for some CAs where they refused to delete a tradeline after PIF. After all, isn't the entire purpose of collection to collect a debt? And isn't the point of reporting a negative account to CRAs to give the individual incentive to pay the debt, in order to receive another form of credit or employment?
If the culture was such that if PIF accounts resulted in deletion or removal of "negative" status by default, in my opinion, accounts would get PIF much more often, and much more quickly.
