Pay for delete is when debt collectors remove collections accounts from your report in exchange for payment. It's not advised. Pay for delete is a practice in which debt collectors erase the collections account off your credit report in exchange for payment of the account. The practice isn't totally aboveboard.

Credit bureaus can correct errors and report payoffs but are not likely to completely delete the entire collections account. This is because a debt collector can't remove negative marks reported by the original creditor. Pay for delete may not increase your score.

Call the collection agency. To begin a consumer should call the collection agency who has reported the account to his credit reports and offer to settle the account in question based upon the understanding that the account will be deleted from his credit reports once the settlement has been paid.

With this in mind, you should always start your offer at 25 percent or less. Let's understand the math here. If your debt is $1,000, let's say at the most, the collection agencies has paid or will collect 7 cents on the dollar, or $70. If you offer them $250 (25 percent), they are still making a profit of $180.
