The collection agency sent me another letter. It reads:

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WE HAVE REPORTED THIS CLAIM TO THE CREDIT BUREAUS WITH THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. WHEN OUR FIRM REQUESTS THE CREDIT BUREAU TO REMOVE AN ITEM, THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER IS NECESSARY FOR THE REMOVAL.

THEREFORE, YOU CAN ACCEPT THIS LETTER AS CLARIFICATION/CONFIRMATION THAT ONCE YOU HAVE REMITTED $500.00 AS SETTLEMENT (GOOD THROUGH APRIL 4, 2002) YOU MAY EITHER PROVIDE US WITH YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND/OR YOU MAY DISPUTE THE ACCOUNT WITH THE CREDIT BUREAUS AGAIN AND WE SHALL AGREE TO DELETE THE CLAIM.

THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO COLLECT A DEBT. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. THIS COMMUNICATION IS FROM A DEBT COLLECTOR.

(Signed)

I am wondering if I can be confident that they will remove it if I do pay them?

Thank you.
