Well the good news is the CA mailed me a reply that they would remove the collection from my credit report if I pay them.

The bad news is they want me to pay them by tomorrow, which is funny since I only got the letter in the mail yesteday.

Unless they take a credit card over the phone I'm not sure how that would even be possible.  It's almost like the purposly put a early date on it knowing it's nearly impossible to pay them on time.

What a joke.
