PFD or HIPPA??? Please help

Hi all so I know we cant really talk about HIPPA here but I have a very general question that I hope someone can answer so that I dont end up doing the wrong thing. I have a medical debt that is still in SOL. The OC (a hospital) said that they already sent it to collections and I CAN NOT pay them (the hospital). The amount is for $500, I received a settlement letter from NCO for a little over half and that is what I really can afford to pay now ( I am a broke college student). So should I send NCO a PFD letter for the amount asked in the settlement letter? or should I do HIPPA? I am not to familiar with HIPPA but I can find out more info if that is the way I should go. I really would like to have this taken care of so that it never comes back to haunt me again.

do not waste your time, ink or postage with a pfd.  find the hipaa process online and follow it.

Even if the OC (hospital) said that they will NOT take payment?
