I made the mistake of contacting them to find out what the letter was about and they sent me an email "settlement."  Would that be enough to constitute an invoice or contract for collection purposes?

Has anyone had Getty successfully send their "invoice" to collections to where it actually appeared on your credit report, damaging your credit?

My understanding is that there has to be a contract for any debt to appear on someone's credit because if there isn't a contract, what's to prevent someone from saying whatever they want like, hey so and so owes my business $X,XXX and I'm reporting it to collections just because.

OK, so as much as everyone on this site, I want to fight Getty's tactics, but my question is, does anyone have experience with just paying what they demand?  Do they then go away or does this open up another can of worms?
