Pay-for-delete is a negotiation where you offer to pay a collection in exchange for the collector removing it from your report entirely (not just marking it "paid"). It must be agreed to in writing before you pay. Here at Credisure Fix, we negotiate pay-for-delete on your behalf so you don't pay and still get stuck with the negative tradeline.
