paying off collections

Hello! 

        Due to a past surgery with no isurance and other health problems and then putting myself through nursing school while raising two children I have quite a few old bills in collections....My question is what luck has everyone had with getting bad accounts removed from credit report once they are paid off? what is the best wat to go about doing this?

   Thanks in advance!

Re: paying off collections

The normal process is to make an offer to pay that is contingent upon their agreement to delete the reported collection (PFD).

That way, they have an incentive to delete.
