Southwest CA paid, what is the next step!?

Anonymous · ‎07-20-2017

I had comcast about three years ago, and when I moved never paid the last bill. I sent various PFD Letters but I never received a response back. Today I decided to call them and see if they would delete it after paying it. I ended up paying 65% of the amount owed. The question is, what now? The collection will read as "settle" in my credit report. How can I get it deleted from it!?

Only way is to begin a GW letter campaign asking for forgiveness and removal of the CO. I like to send them to the CEOs office.
