I was sent a collection letter 7/24/2012 advising me I have 30 days to dispute (Which I don't dispute). If I pay the amount owed before the 30th day can the collection agency still report this on my credit? Also would it be better to deal directly with the lender as oppose to the collection agency?
Thank You

The couple times I have received dunnings and paid within the 30 day window; It has not reported.
Doesn't mean it can't, but the threat of it is what compels people to pay, and usually they won't report if you pay before they do.
You can always attempt to get that in writing, but I never did.. It hasn't bitten me yet, by YMMV as there are some who have been burned
