# DELETE /api/v1/billing-addresses/{billingAddress}/contacts/{contact}

> Hold the removal of a billing-address contact for confirmation

- Group: billing
- Tier: W

## Description

Where invoices go is consequential: an address dropped by mistake means unpaid invoices and a suspended service. Live (2026-09-05) the model removed every other recipient on the customer's primary profile when asked to "send invoices to X" — so a removal is no longer immediate. The hold's preview names the address, its type and how many invoice recipients stay; `perform()` deletes it once the customer approves. Removes nothing on this call.

## Path parameters

- `billingAddress` — string (required)
- `contact` — string (required)

## Query parameters

- `billing_address_id` — integer (required). Minimum 1.
- `contact_id` — integer (required). Minimum 1.
- `attempt_key` — string. Idempotency key for this intent. Keep it stable across retries so a timed-out retry cannot buy the same thing twice. Up to 128 characters.
