Frequently asked questions
Is pay-for-delete legal?
Yes. Collectors are free to negotiate the terms of payment, including deletion. The original creditor's contract with the bureaus discourages it, but third-party collectors routinely agree.
What percentage should I offer?
Most negotiations settle between 30% and 50% of the original balance. Our generator suggests 40% as a starting point.
Will paying restart the statute of limitations?
In many states, a payment or written acknowledgment can restart the clock on the debt. Confirm your state's rules before sending payment, especially on older accounts.
Can I fax a pay-for-delete letter?
You can if the collector publishes a fax number, but always get the deletion agreement in writing first and send your offer by certified mail so you have a dated record. Never negotiate deletion over the phone.
