As I understand the post, you have paid a collection and have issues with how it is now reporting.
The bottom-line requrement for any reporting made to a CRA is that the furnisher is under an obligation (FCRA 623(a)(2)) to promptly update any changes in the reported information so as to maintain its current accuracy.
Applying that to a paid collection, they must promptly update to show $0 remaining under collection, and that the collection is closed.
They are not required to delete the reported collection, as payment does not negate the fact of their prior collection authority and activity
Unpaid collections depend unpon the status of their collection activity, and whether you legitimately dispute the debt.
If they complied with dunning notice requirement, and more than 30 days has passed since they sent notice, then any DV would be untimely, and impose no requirement on the debt collector to respond or to cease any collection activity. Would your DV be timely?
If timely, a DV imposes no requriement that they respond, it requires them to cease collection activity until they have done so.
The cease collection bar imposed by a timely DV also precludes the consumer from pursuing PFD negotiations, as the debt collector is barred from any collection activity until they choose to provide the requested debt verification. So it will put everything into a state of limbo.
If you dont dispute the actuald debt and need prompt CR deletion, then it might be better to forgo a timely DV, and make them a PFD offer.
It depends upon your needs and situation.
