I have collection agency that is doing a settlement for me it is about 50% less what I actually owe them but they will not sign a “Pay to Delete†agreement however they will sign the letter that the settlement is made between us and they will report “paid†to credit bureaus. They are saying after I pay them then I can dispute this with credit bureaus and when credit bureaus will contact them to verify the information they will not respond to them since it’s paid off and in 30 days it will go out from my credit history.
Question is should I trust them??
