Quick Question

Hello,

 

I have a collection with LVNV funding for $1100 that is due to fall off on 11/2014. Today in the mail I got a settlement offer of $120. My question is should I take it and pay it so it stops reporting am increased balance every month or do I just wait and let it fall off in November?  Thanks

IMO do nothing till it comes off your reports

 

Add: If they will do PFD I would consider the offer.

Perfectly acceptable offer.  Or make them another one, offering to pay that amount now if they will remove.
