I had a Cap1 account that ended up in collections with CACH LLC (I'm assuming that's who you're referring to when you say catch).
Ultimately, it was on there for a couple of years and none of my efforts were successful. I called them and asked if they would do PFD, they affirmed that it was against policy. Since I needed to get my collections sorted, I paid in full and that very day sent a PFD letter that a fellow forum member used for CACH. I tweaked said letter to match my situation and included the confirmation number of the payment I had just made.
Within a couple weeks, the collection account was deleted from all 3 bureaus.
If you google CACH LLC goodwill letter myfico you'll find the thread with the goodwill letter in it...I believe it is the most recent thread (other than yours) on CACH.
Good luck.
