PFD Letter, no response but deleted from Credit Report

[Anonymous]

Good afternoon everyone, 

I sent a PFD letter to a Collection Agency, after about a week they receive the letter, the collection was removed from my credit report, acording to Credit Karma.  I have not received any responce from the collection agency, and now i'm wondering what do I need to do next?

Paid collection? If so do nothing.

It is contrary to their credit reporting agreements with the CRAs to delete based on payment of the debt.

Thus, not formally responding may be viewed as a way of side-stepping their agreement not to PFD.

It might be that they are investigating the account or that it has been sold to someone else.

Who is the CA? CA's are notorious for playing little "reindeer" games.

Tough spot. Not sure what advice I would give you....

If it were me, being Mr. Brave and always LOVE a good challenge would call them and discuss the issue...

I would not admit to owing anything, but willing to either PFD or PAY not to report anymore.

The question is why have they deleted. It could re-appear at anytime.

They may have deleted hoping you will call and settle not to re-report. 

Who knows, but it will drive you crazy (I know the feeling).

I would wait to see if it remains that way. Do you only use CK to check your reports?

Don't wait.
