Re: PFD Q&A, Examples, and PFD Success Stories

I went back and forth with Portfoloio Recovery and they eventually deleted my account and refunded my payment.

Thanks to this forum I learned about the PFD letter and faxed one to NCO Financial and within 3 days the collection was removed from all three bureaus.  I still haven't heard a word from NCO but I'm still going to send them the money I said I would in my letter

Re: PFD Q&A, Examples, and PFD Success Stories

can you message me your copy of the dispute letter.and more of an explantion on what you did and how it all worked out. I agree that paying these in full is stupid when they bought the debt for pennies on the dollar

just google DV letter and then PFD letter and edit it to fit your needs.

Re: PFD Q&A, Examples, and PFD Success Stories

I'm brand new to credit repair and I'm going to try my hand at a PFD. It's a medical collection for $102 to Marigold Financial. It's a joint debt with my husband, and it's reporting on both of our credit reports. How would I change the PFD letter to ask for it to be removed from both of our reports in exchange for full payment?

Re: PFD Q&A, Examples, and PFD Success Stories

I am going to try a PFD on the only debt I have remaining with a CA. My question is, do I send the PFD to the CA (Midlund Funding) or the OC (Synchrony Bank)? They are both reporting the account on my credit files. I am currently in a long-term payment plan with Midlund but can afford to PIF now if need be. If Midlund agrees to the PFD, Synchrony can/will still report the collections account correct? So would it even help me?
