Re: (Account number)
Dear (Creditor name),
This letter is an attempt to clearly state terms of verbal agreement made on the remaining balance owed on the following account. A WRITTEN agreement protects both the parties from discrepancies and disputes later.
1. (Account number)
The total amount owed on this account is ($ X).
1. (CA) agrees to accept a payment arrangement as settlement of the balance owed on (account number). The payment term will be for (X) months, beginning in (3/25/2011) and ending in (date of the last payment). A monthly payment of ($ 50) over the next (Z) months will be paid to (ca) as an agreed full and final settlement of all outstanding charges and fees on (account number). Each monthly payment will be due on the 25th day of the month.
2. (CA) agrees to delete ALL information regarding this account from the credit reporting agencies and will not discuss the terms of this settlement with anyone, excluding your client on this account. If contacted by any third party, including credit-reporting agencies, Collection Agency will not acknowledge that any settlement offer was made, accepted or executed and will, in fact, deny knowledge of any such account (CA) reserves the right to resume collection attempts only if (your name) does not adhere to the payment schedule outlined in item #1. Once the entire balance has been paid off in full, (ca) agrees to permanently cease any and all attempts to collect on (account number), since (creditor name) would recognize the account as being paid in full.
3. (Creditor name) agrees not to sell the debt owed on (account number) to any third party, provided that (your name) adheres to the payment schedule in item #1. (Creditor name) reserves the right to resume collection only if the payment schedule is not adhered to.
4. (Your name) may pay off the remaining balance prior to the end of the payment schedule without penalty.
5. This agreement is binding on both parties.
If you completely agree to points 1 through 5 listed in this offer, please have an individual authorized to make such agreements on behalf of (creditor’s name) sign and return a copy of this offer to the return address listed at the bottom of this page. The individual who signs on behalf of (creditor name) must have express authority to make such agreements binding upon (creditor name) or the agreement is void. It will be implied that this letter shall constitute a legally binding contract, enforceable under the laws of my state.

As a show of good faith I’ve enclosed my first payment in the amount of $__50_. I would appreciate a call from you confirming your acceptance of my payment terms. However, if I do not hear from you, I will consider your cashing or depositing my check as confirmation that you accept my payment terms.
Sincerely,
Had an account with MBNA sold to CA (EPS) and was paid on and paid off regulary.  Paid the final payment back in Nov. of 2010.  Just checked my EQ CR and it shows Paid Collection,  $0 balance  but now with no lates in the details box until March 2011.  How can it be paid off back in Nov. and show a late of 120 days in March with a $0 balance?
How long does it take for a paid collection to come off your credit report? Is there anyway that you can speed up the process? And how much does your score improve after having them removed? Thanks
Hello, I just got an offer back from a PFD letter I sent out. CA is willing to remove the account from all three agencies. Settled for $1200 (from $1700).
Â
The agents name is signed, but not typed and not legible. Do you guys think this will be an issue?
Â
It is on their letterhead, with my info and account number.
Â
Thanks!
Need some advice folks & I can’t find any more info on it.
Â
I currently have a listing on my EXPERIAN credit report for a small amount (around $100) that i’ve submitted a check to pay it off (it’s about 5 years old). I sent a letter with it, requesting the usual, mark as paid within 30 days, never report it to another CR now or in the future, etc etc.
Â
Well they returned the check stating that even though the debt ONLY appears on my EX report, they are required to update TU and EQ as well. Since this debt does not appear on them (TU and EQ) currently does this mean that the PAID debt will appear?
Â
They want me to resubmit a new check without the restrictions letter so they can “do their job.”
Â
1. Does anyone know if that debt will appear as a newly paid debt on my “clear” credit reports.
2. Should I resubmit without the restrictions/requests?
Â
Any thoughts or advice on this?
My thanks in advance.

Does anyone know when you have baddies included in your bk when they fall off your report does it help your score out then or when the bk falls off?

Thanks for your help
I called the collection agency that had the account, but they said that Direct TV took the account back. What does that mean?
My wife and I have been paying off our collection accounts for the past 2 months. We are trying to purchase our first home. A realtor advised us to get our collection accounts to a zero balance. We recently checked our credit too see if there was any progress. And my wife score dropped. She figured it was because of her 50,000 student loan that have 30, 60, and 90 latest. She contacted Direct Loan and they honored a deferment to start form the first day of being late. Will the action help her in any way. Or at least move up her score
