THe cras have already deleted. 2 They re offering to waive a debt that was never mine? and 3. 1000 bucks? They re out of their minds. Im planning on taking this to court.
It would be smart to counter with a settlement that includes a larger dollar amount, around what you expect to clear from the court case, and attorney's fees.
I agree with p-, plus put something off the wall in there. Like Globetrotter tickets and a pack of skittles! lol, just joking. But if they are willing to pay more to keep it from going to court, see how much they'll take.

Rule number 1 in negotations when you have the upper hand - never accept the first offer.
Rule number 2 in negotations when you have the upper hand - always make a counter offer for way more than what you realisitcally would expect.
Rule number 3 in negotiations when you have the upper hand - never talk about fight club.
I agree go back with a counter offer for 150% of what you expect to get if you won a court case, PLUS all legal fees, PLUS a formal written apology, and in return you would write a letter stating that you would consider this matter closed.
If you have a slam dunk case, I wouldn't accept anything less than 100% plus attorneys fees if you sign a confidentiality agreement of any sorts....because if it goes to trial, you win - you DON'T have to keep your mouth shut as everything would be public record. But you better make sure you have all your Ts crossed and Is dotted....
Don't forget the skittle either.... that's the deal breaker!
