What Is a Pay for Delete Letter?

A Pay for Delete Letter is a formal document submitted to a collection agency by a current or former debtor with an offer to erase the information about the debt from the credit history and improve the individual's or organization's credit score in exchange for payment. Even if you have dealt with your debts already, your credit report may still show old debts that will not let you qualify for loans and new credit cards - sometimes, collection accounts do not disappear from credit records for months and years. It may even lead to a lawsuit and trial that damages the reputation and credit history of the debtor.

The debt collector will delete information about the debt from the records once your payment clears.
