If you had an agreement to have the tradeline deleted you should file a complaint with the BBB. If the OC and CA is reporting a tradeline, and the agreement was with the CA, only the CA has to honor the agreement. They can update the Universal Data Form and select delete for the CRA's to delete the tradeline.
Also, if the account representative misrepresented himself, and is not an attorney, that is a violation of the FDCPA.
Good luck!
I realize that the agreement was made with the collection agency, however, the CC company refused to speak with me regarding the account and directed me to work with the collection agency. Plus, the agreement letter states "our client agrees ...." (our client) meaning the original creditor. Doesn't this mean they would have to honor the agreement as well?

Yes, the OC must honor it since the CA said 'our client agrees'.

Research the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Look for any violations the CA may have made and use it in your complaint to the BBB.
