I'm interested in doing this, but have seen a few articles that this no longer works because the credit bureaus have smartened up. I read that even if CA agrees to remove the credit bureaus may not allow it because they have a reputation of their own - if they just allow CA's to remove debts based on Pay for Delete in order to raise a FICO/credit rating score then they are not really true scores.
Is this true? Do Pay for Deletes still work - or is this something that worked in the past but not so much today?
