PFD for deletion question

[sammyfire2001]

NCO recently popped 2 medical collections on my credit reports. I want to attempt to do a PFD. When doing a PFD do I have to pay the full amount at one time or can I make payments over time instead?

Generally, ppl offer to PIF when sending a PFD.

This question is asked a lot and my answer is always........can't hurt to try. I've never seen anyone post back saying if they succeeded or not.

Also, chances are NCO doesn't own the account, but the OC does (due to medical). You could also negotiate a PFD with the OC and they do have the power to retract NCO's reporting.

I've read that NCO is generally easy to deal with and they do accept PFDs.

I have been trying to find the PFD example letter that has been posted on here before but I keep getting a dead link. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

IMO, strictly my opinion, this letter most commonly found in these forums, is very legalistic. I had some OCs who saw it and thought I was disputing. I edited it to eliminate the time frame (thus eliminating the need to send CMRRR). I also shortened it, but I still insist they send on their letterhead.

A PFD is more like a GW letter; they don't have to respond.

Yeah, that one seems pretty legal and straight forward. And I am not disputting the bill. I just want to see if they would be willing to delete it in return for my full payment. I will have to play around with it and see what I can come up with.

Thanks.
