GOODWILL LETTER

1. What is a goodwill letter


In a goodwill letter, sometimes called a late payment removal letter, you ask the
creditor that reported your late payments to remove the derogatory mark from your credit
reports. Without the "goodwill" of a creditor to remove those marks, they remain on your
credit report for seven years, though the impact on your score fades with time.

2. Purpose Of Goodwill Letter


The purpose is to express regret, apologize, and request a second chance or special
consideration from the aggrieved or authoritative party. In a business context, goodwill
letters can be used to maintain good relationships with customers or partners after a
mistake or incident that has caused harm.

3. When to use a Goodwill Letter


You shouldn't send a goodwill letter to your credit card company or creditor just
because you had a late or missed payment. You need to have a good reason or excuse for
why the late payment occurred, like:
 A temporary financial hardship
 Delays due to switching banks or a change of address
 Failure to set up automatic payments properly
Sending a goodwill letter may show creditors you're serious about improving or
repairing your credit. That doesn't mean they'll approve your request to remove negative
marks, but it's a start. A goodwill letter is a way to ask for mercy and help in moving your
credit in the right direction. If you're a loyal customer, the creditor may extend you grace
to continue the business relationship.

4. How to write a Goodwill Letter


A strong late payment removal letter asks the creditor to empathize with you. It’s
pleasant and courteous. It shows that you take responsibility for your missed payments
and demonstrates that you’ll stay current on your bills in the future.
It helps if you can point to a specific circumstance, or if you can show a recent track
record of on-time payments. Keep it short and sweet.
You might consider writing a goodwill letter if you missed one or more payments due
to a medical emergency, a divorce, job loss, or a natural disaster. An issue with mail
delivery due to a move could be another valid reason to write a goodwill letter.
Once you’ve written the letter, send it to your creditor using the address listed on its
website or on your credit report. You might have to contact the creditor multiple times or
follow up with a phone call. Persistence may help persuade the creditor.
