Debt Validation or not?

ETC
Needless to say, you have the right to report this debt to the credit reporting agencies as you see fit etc etcI know that having “PAID COLLECTION” status on the credit report would be very detrimental to me. etc etc
Etc I will pay your company the amount of $100 as PAYMENT IN FULL for the full satisfaction of this debt. etc etc

Basically some thing I got off the internet I received back a typed letter dated jan 2X,2011 stating my name then as per request the amount are listed along with it saying please be advice our client does not take reductions.

I received mail from them dated feb X 2011 which was a statement saying enclosed is the itemized statement you have requested (when?) This is an attempt to collect .... there is one print out that is from a ledger and there are 3 bills which have my name account number due date etc is this validation? Any ways Feb 5 I sent them a request for validation basically another thing I found on the internet.


I sincerely just want this off my credit I don't want to argue or any of that but unfortunately I cannot pay in full I was going to offer another settle or pay for delete but the most I can do is a little less than 200 when the debt is about $450 advice thoughts suggestions all appreciated I do not have any clue as to what I am doing I did learn to not contact such an old debt!
