I have a single outstanding debt on my credit report. It's for $984, from a towing company that towed an abandoned / broken down car of mine, years ago. They submitted it to a collection agency. I was unaware of the bill before it went to the collection agency, because I moved out of state, just before they marked the car "abandoned" in my old apartment complex parking lot, and then was towed.
I'm not even aware of the original amount before it got to the collection agency, however I'm sure it's legit because of the details they have about the car.
I'm interested in paying this bill off, however when I contacted the collection agency to try to negotiate a "deletion" with full payment, they wouldn't have anything to do with it.
It's been about five years now that it's been on my credit report.
What would make the most legal sense? To pay it off in full, don't pay anything unless they accept some sore of deletion agreement, or settle it for as little as possible even without deletion
