Verizon was still holding the debt so we DV'd the CA and then never heard anything for awhile. This new CA called last week and she said to contact her via mail because the debt was being disputed.
They called her today with a settlement offer which she asked for to be mailed. They insisted they don't do mailings anymore but emailed her a PDF letter that was signed by someone in the collection department.
I can't find if this CA is licensed in IL or IN. And as far as we know, "Chase Receivables" doesn't show up yet on her reports.
Should she pay, or hold off for a better offer?
