I have a past due balance with Verizon for $126.00 showing on my credit report. I due recall the past due balance and tried calling Verizon (OC) to make a payment in full. Unfortunately I was advised that my account was sold to AFNI and Verizon could not take nay payment from me. Since I am a resident of PA, I would like the trade line deleted if I could, so I was wondering if the best course of action is to send AFNI a PFD stating that if they cash my money order or Cashiers check, then they would consider the account paid in full and delete the trade line off of my credit report. Does anyone think I am taking the correct approach?

Thanks
