They consider the issue done and really dont want to get back into it with you. As a result the Credit reporting agency drops it. The Credit Card Comany has 30 days to write back and verify the reporting. If they dont its dropped. Most comanies once you pay them arent going to report back. Especially if you have it in writing that they agreed to report you as "paid as agreed" and "not report you late"
One real issue with this however is that you still will have to pay. In the form of taxes! The forgiven debt is considered income. So if they waived 20k debt, you have to pay the tax on it to the IRS..
And trust me the IRS isnt going to roll over and let you fuck them.

BP,
nice switch game
I am not disputing the fact that you can settle up and get a pay for delete, what I am saying is if you don't fuck / screw all your credit card lenders - the ones you keep good are going to see the first, 2nd and 3rd 30/60/90 day debt before you have the bad account deleted and take adverse action, that's how it works.. Your scores have tanked, etc until the delete.
Yes, most forgiven debt is turned into a 1099 issued to you and sent to the irs.... Not all but most...
good luck in the west hills.
