I would just pay it and goodwill everybody in the company until I got what I wanted.
Tell them you only have a set amt of money to pay your creditors but you will only pay those that give you a pfd IN WRITING first. I have gotten all the ones that try to play hardball to cave then.

I would just keep trying. Try and find out the email addresses of the company's executives and send it to them too.
Hey there -
I have dealt with these guys, very recently, but have had absolutely NO luck at all. My wife had a surgery about a year ago, and we were paying on a very large amount to the hospital, but for some reason, they sent out two small bills (137.00 and 34.00) to Mead. We had no clue they were at a collections agency until I was in the process of getting a mortgage for a home. I was initially approved for the mortgage, but as we got further into the process, Mead appeared on my credit report after our initial application for the laon, for accounts that were in my wife's name. We had no clue that they were even as issue, as I mentioned above, we were paying monthly payments on what we thought were all of the amounts owed to the hospital.
I paid them immediately, but tried to negotiate a PFD, and I spoke to several people at Mead with no absolutely no luck at all, and eventually ended up speaking to Mr. Mead himself. I explained to him the situation, and he refused to remove the items, even if only from my credit reports so that we could continue with our mortgage loan process. Still no luck, and we basically lost out on a home and getting a mortgage.
I even filed an investigation with the CFPB, but apparently in Ohio, they can legally hit a spouses credit report for services in their spouses name. I was not aware of that.
I wish I had better news, but they may be a tough one to get a PFD for.
