Settling unreported collection

I just got a bill from a collection agency regarding a valid American Express debt.  This is not reporting on the CRA's.  The settlement offer is attractive but I do not have the amount on hand and will need to try to negotiate the payoff.  American Express has not been reporting this collection and I am afraid if I contact the CA, they will start to report it.

 

Since American Express is not reporting this at all, is my fear of the CA reporting this valid?

Re: Settling unreported collection

Whether AmEx is reporting or not, the CA can report.

 

If you DV, they can not report until they properly validate.

 

You can try negotiating a pay for not reporting.

 

What is the DOFD?
