Re: Pay for Deletion Letter?

When doing a PFD by phone are you contacting the collection agency or the original creditor?

Re: Pay for Deletion Letter?

I am actually interested in this as well. I have had success with this in the past. However, it has been a while and I know times change. 

 

If I were to call, and lets say they agree to do a PFD, should I request confirmation in writing from them? Does emailing work also? 

Capital One QS $1,100 | Capital One QS ONE $1,200 | NFCU Cash Back Visa Signature $7,000 | USAA Platinum $1,000 | Discover IT $3,900 | Barclaycard - Apple $2,000 | AMEX PRG | Care Credit $7,000

I've decided to make phone calls my way to negotiate/PFD. I have an app that records all phone calls. I'll ask for email correspondence as well. Buy all those stamps for what?

I have had a few PFD's just recently. I did one of them over the phone, however the debt was only for $37. I will be requesting another one today over the phone once the company opens up.

 

Good luck!

You can adapt the presentation from written letters and adjust it to your situation
