No!
The debt collector, upon being notified of payment of the debt, must update the balance on their collection to $0, and close the collection, as there is no longer a remaining debt to collect. They are NOT required to delete their prior reporting, as it accurately reported the fact that they had collection authority prior to payment of the debt.
Reporting of a collection is not a statement that they have any ownership to the debt, only that they are authorized to collect on it.
A DV now would, in my opinion, be just short of useless. They have no requirement to respond. Even if your DV were timely, which it most likely would not be, all it would do is to require them to cease collection activity. With the debt now being paid, that has already been accomplished.
Even if they chose to provide debt verification, which they almost assuredly wont, all they would have to say is "We verify that the debt is $0."
There is no provision of the FDCPA or FCRA that requires any CR deletion based on failure to have provided debt verification. Additionally, there is no inaccuracy in reporting upon which to base a dispute through the CRA.
You can ask the OC to try to persuade the debt collector to delete, but nothing requires them to do so.
You will most likely be left with requesting GW deletion. If you get into a hassle with them over asserting a requirement that they delete, it might kill any feeling of GW on their part.
