Pay for Delete Letter in Nebraska
An offer to pay a collection account in exchange for the collector asking the credit bureaus to remove it. Collectors are not required to agree; get any agreement in writing before you pay, and check your state's rules on whether a payment restarts the time limit to sue (below).
What Nebraska law says
| Can a payment restart the clock? | Yes. A voluntary partial payment of principal or interest, or a written acknowledgment or written promise to pay, starts a new limitations period from the date of the payment, acknowledgment or promise. Source: Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-216 |
|---|---|
| Time limit for credit cards and open accounts | 4 years for a contract not in writing, express or implied. Whether a credit card account is a written contract (5 years) or not (4 years) depends on the documents and court decisions. Source: Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-206 |

Re: Account [account number]
I am willing to pay $[amount offered] to resolve this account in full, on the condition that you ask each credit bureau to remove the account from my credit reports.
If you agree, please confirm these terms in writing on your letterhead before I send payment.
This letter is not an acknowledgment that I owe the debt.
