Questions about a CA collecting for a CA

Hello Ya'll,

 

I have questions about a CA collecting for a CA:

 

I sent a DV letter to Asset Acceptance LLC (collection agency) on September 15th. I originally thought this debt wasn't mine (before I sent the DV).

 

But found some papers that confirmed it is mine (after mailing out the DV).

 

Today I received letter from First National Collection Bureau.

 

According to the letter, First National Collection Bureau is now collecting on behalf of Asset Acceptance.

 

The letter proposed a settlement with a 60% discount off a $1300 debt. 

 

My questions:

 

Should I wait it out for Asset Acceptance to respond to the DV?

 

Or send a DV to First National Collection Bureau as well?

 

I've been pursuing PFDs with other CA's but it would be a lot easier to just take these people up on their offer and skip the PFD work. Will the impact on my score be considerably better if I PFD vs just settling the debt?

I have read that DV'ing is *always* a really good thing to do.
