No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
If they haven't received your DV they can report.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. What do you mean they are not trying to collect?
You send a DV within 30 days of receiving a dunning notice or initial contact to be considered timely. Anything after that is not timely.
They don't have to respond at all, within any timeframe, they just cannot continue collection activity.
