My GF had a collection with them. She sent a DV letter in November, no response. Sent another one in January, no response. They kept updating her credit report though, and verifying when it was disputed.
3 weeks ago she sent a letter saying that they are in violation for verifying without responding to the DV letters. She said that she will refrain from filing with the local Attorney General office and Better Business Bureau if they delete. Today, it came off her report! Let's hope that it's off for good.
From what I've read, it's best to wait for them to violate (i.e. not respond to a DV). Then send a letter documenting their violations, and they may delete.
