I haven't had any luck with neither. Asset Acceptance would not accept a PFD so I ended up PIF and now i'm still trying to get them do to a GW. They even updated my reports saying I was tyring to dispute an account when I sent in my GW letter and then added a duplicate account on my equifax report. I disputed the duplicate reporting to equifax and both accounts were deleted off of equifax, now i'm working on trying to get it off of TransUnion and Experian.
Collection Company of America is just straight stubborn, they are one of my headaches, i've been able to get them to delete off of TransUnion and Equifax due to them not being bonded in my state to collect. Before I learned they were not bonded I tried to PFD and they mentioned they do not do that. I'm still fighting to get them removed from Experian.
Good Luck

Asset Acceptance is collecting on a old Bally's account of mine, they have been a pain in my side. They'll accept the settlements, but won't delete. I'm praying the last PFD I sent them will work.
ByrdMan -
I have contacted the FTC, AG and BBB in regards to Collection Company of America that is how I was able to get them deleted off of TransUnion and Equifax. However, Collection Company of America is stating that they are bonded in my state, they provided me with thier license number and everything however according to the Secretary of State they are not...so i'm in the battle with them over this.
As far as the Asset Acceptance situation I would have loved if they would have accepted a PFD, but some people are in different situations then others that is why I PIF'd. I have a security clearance i have to protect so i'm trying to cover all my mistakes the right way.
I know that an unpaid or paid collection means nothing in scoring with FICO unless of course the CA updates my report after paying (which like you said) can lower my score.

Hmmmmm I think these two I will probably wait and see if I can get pre-approved for a mortgage without paying them up front and then If I have to pay them and they won't take a PFD then I will try to settle for less than the full amount before closing. I swear I wish I had been smarter when I was younger- of course we had alot of catastrophic events happen so maybe it was ignorant bliss I didn't understand credit scoring! LOL!!!!
How much are they and what are they for?
