To whom it may concern,
I’m reaching out to you today in regards to the account I mentioned earlier.
Due to {add specific issues} I experienced in {Year}, a collection was sent to your agency.
While I always ensure that I pay off my debts and fulfill my financial obligations, I was sadly unable to do so in this case due to the circumstances. However, since then, I’ve recovered financially and paid your organization back for the debt.
I’m contacting you because I’m wanting to apply for a credit card but am having trouble doing so because my bank won’t approve me. This is due to the fact that I have a collection on my account.
I kindly ask your organization to take into consideration erasing this collection as a gesture of goodwill.
Sincerely, {Your name}
