What's the best method of payment for PFD?

[furkidz3]

I need to send off 2 PFD payments and since this forum warns against sending anything with your signature on it to a CA,  how should I pay?

Does Western Union send your signature?

If you are doign PFD, I think you'd have less to worry about providing your signature then if you were doing a DV. However, send certified funds or a postal money order. No signature req. on postal money orders.

Ok, I feel stupid but I am going to ask--

How do I send "certified funds" and the only money order I am familiar with is one that you have to sign.

You can sign if you are doing PFD. The reason you don't want to send your sig when you are doing a DV or other dispute is so that the CA can't use that sig and transplant it onto something else. If you are doing PFD you are admitting the debt is yours already. However, you can get certified funds from a bank in the form of a certified check.

Certified Funds are like a cashiers check from your bank.

When you buy a money order at the post office you do not sign it. You fill out your name and address but doesn't require signature.

Not if you use the example here or something similar. It states that the validity of the debt is disputed but you are offering PFD as a compromise to get it removed from your report.

So I could get a money order at the post office and at the same time send it CMRRR?

Should I send it CMRRR, because that way I would have proof that they received it by their agreement due date?

I am so paranoid now about CAs. I don't want them to come back and say "this agreement (to delete) is void because we didn't receive your payment in time, but thanks for the money anyway"!!!!!!

Good point, and I guess an important distinction, especially if you are offering PFD for a smaller value than they say you owe.
