Sample Letter To Remove Credit

NCO Financial is a collection agency. They work with financial services, healthcare, utilities, education and more.

They have been in business since 1926. They do both first party and third party collections.

They are located in 9 different countries with over 140 operation centers. They are headquartered in Horsham, Pennsylvania.

They claim to be customer oriented and committed to integrity, teamwork and quality.

NCO Financial has the authority to do Credit Reporting. Meaning they can make negative listings on your Credit Report. If this happens your Credit Score will be lowered.

However there is hope, you can have this listing removed. There are two options to have a listing removed from your credit report.

1. You can dispute the listing with the Credit Bureau directly.

You can do this yourself by sending a dispute letter to the Credit Bureaus. Or you can hire a Credit Repair firm to handle the dispute process on your behalf.

If you do this yourself you must send a dispute letter to each credit bureau disputing the validity of the negative listing. Common reasons for a dispute are: the account has been paid, not your account, or the listing is inaccurate.

2. You can pay NCO Financial. I would recommend disputing the listing first and then if that is unsuccessful consider paying.

However before you pay you should negotiate a settlement offer. Often you do not have to pay the full amount. I would suggest offering 50% of the balance.

Also make sure that you have in writing that NCO Financial will remove the negative listing from your credit report in exchange for payment. Otherwise the listing will remain on your credit report and making payment will not help Improve Your Credit Score.

You should also be aware that NCO Financial may not be the only company reporting a negative listing for this account. The creditor may also have reported this account as a negative listing too.

It is common for collection agencies to sell accounts that they are unsuccessful collecting on. Thus NCO may have sold your account to another collection agency that has created a negative listing on your credit report too.

If you have the same account reported more than once on your credit file then I would suggest consulting with a professional credit repair firm because making payment to one company will not remove all the negative listings on your credit report.

However if the debt is legitimate and you decide to make payment, do not pay the full amount. Collection agencies buy your account for pennies on the dollar. Thus you are giving them a huge profit if you pay 100% of the balance.

Also do not be fooled into believing that NCO has the authority to remove a negative listing from the creditor or another collection agency.

I would recommend having all communications with NCO in writing. This way if there is a breach of your settlement agreement you have written documentation.

In sum, make sure that if you do settle that you have written documentation that the listing will be removed from your credit report in exchange for payment.

Credit Restoration Letters?

I am currently in the process of restoring My Credit. Is there a letter I can send a company beforehand that will ensure that the debt will be removed from My Credit Report or at least changed to a paid off account after the payment is received? If so, where can I find a sample one?

If any of the debts are old charged off Credit Card debts, then it's best to sit tight...paying off old charge offs will not help you Credit Rating and doing so will probably stir up more trouble than it's worth. Charge-offs stay on your credit report for 7 years....even if you pay the debt back in full. You could ending up triggering aggressive collection activity against yourself by renewing contact with collection agencies over old charge-offs. This risk is not worth a tiny increase in your credit score.

You may be able to negotiate the complete removal of non credit card debts like defaulted cell, medical, utility bills etc. from your credit report with a Pay for Delete agreement. This is a written agreement where you get a signed agreement from the debt collector (PRIOR to making any payment) where they offer to remove the negative items from your credit files after an agreed-to amount is paid. They will NOT want to do this....all they want is your money and their commission and they could not care less about your credit rating....Still, you have something they want (money) and that puts you in a position to negotiate on this issue. Example letter:

I am willing to resolve this issue if your firm sends me a written agreement that you will remove all negative notations from my credit report after the agreed-to amount is paid to you. Upon receipt of this letter I will mail you a USPS money order for this amount.
----------------------------------
Again, they are not going to want to do this...if they simply refuse to remove it, then you want to negotiate that they will update your credit report to "Paid in Full.”

Get all terms of any settlement deals IN WRITING FIRST, then you pay. Never accept verbal promises over the phone...they'll promise you anything over the phone to get your money then they'll deny that any agreement was ever made once they have your money. Pay only via USPS money order. Photocopy and keep in your permanent records. Never, ever give them your checking account numbers for payment.
