What happens if they reject the offer of taking it off my credit report and removing the negative remarks? I would like to pay it off but having a paid collection account isn't that great.
Also, my second question related to this: is there a way to send a letter to remove paid collection accounts from my credit report. I never knew a couple of years ago these letters/request even existed, so now I am trying to see if it possible to remove paid collection accounts that have been taken care of from a couple of years back.

Thanks for the link. I found some good letters to use. Once you send a letter out to request a pay for delete, how long does it usually take for the collection agency to respond? What have been people's experiences...like has it been a week or does it take a month usually?

I have had split results. One company, luckily the one holding 4 of my accounts, did it gladly. They came off by the end of the month after receipt of a cashiers check for the FULL amount. That part they were quite firm on, it had to be the full amount owed (plus interest). The whole process was quite quick since I called and spoke with the woman handling my account and faxed her the letter which she faxed back. The other was firm in that they would not accept a pay for delete. Hopefully, your accounts are with an agreeable company.
