Sounds good.  Don't forget to ask if they'll delete if from your CR.  It's worth a try!

Do not do that with Enhanced Recovery. They say that they will mark it as paid as full but they won't they will mark it as settled as full for less than the full amount. THIS WILL ACTUALLY MAKE YOUR SCORE GO DOWN. That comment along with the updated date of last activity actually hurts your fico. Unless they are willing to PFD...do not pay them. Unless you have lots of good tradelines reporting, this will harm you and essentially only on recon look good to lenders. Not worth it, especially if they are falling off in 3 years or less.

Starting Scores:
Lender Pull 7/10/2012 EQ 585 EX 617 TU 551
8/2012 MyFico EX 598 01/2013 EX 608 2/2013 EX 620 Smiley Surprised)
9/12/2012 624 (Fico Discover)
02/7/2013 660 (Fico Wally)
At least I'm heading in the right direction!!!

Goal Score:740+, home loan and Get rid of subprime cards!!!
