Yes they can raise the balance with fees and interest that keep adding up and report it every month if they wish, there is nothing illegal about that and yes it keeps your score depressed as it looks like a new collection in the eyes of Fico and it cant age.

Well if they wont do the PFD you might want to pay it off and switch to GW letters after a period of time, you will need to decided this, if its one thats near CRTP then I would probably just let it age off then settle it for pennies on the dollar, if its a newer one that would be a different story. If this happens to be medical debt you may want to Google the HIPAA Process and check into it. Good luck Smiley Happy

Try sending a letter to them with the check, indicating in the letter/notice, that by cashing the check, they agree to remove the negative credit reporting.  Pay it in full, it's a smal balance.  Use Handwriting in your letter, not typing.  See where that takes you - keep a copy of the notice for yourself + the copy of the M.O. or check.  Since it is a small balance they may not want to go the extra mile to remove it from reporting.
