Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.) Disclosure verification of debt Not given enough info to verify debt Michigan

I called Southern Management Systems in an attempt to pay off the debt that is listed on my credit report. I called the number listed, and spoke with an operator who took down my name and number and said that she would give it to the person who I need to talk to and they would contact me. The gentlemen then called me back and said that I owed $1200.00 and that he would settle for - % which was $930.00 but would just make it an even $900.00 and remove it from my credit report. I said ok, will you send me a letter or some sort of confirmation of this agreement stating that if I pay $900.00 then you will remove it from my credit. He responded " No I will not do that. '' I asked how I am supposed to believe him or have proof that that is what he said and he kept saying that he wo n't do it and then proceeded to call me a " liar. '' I asked how I am a liar and he said I just lie and that 's what I do. I 'm not really sure what that had to do with anything at all, but I just asked for proof again and he said after I pay him he will. I said I wo n't pay you until you give me some sort of proof of agreement first and he then said he was going to hang up on me and he did. I just want to get this taken care of and I do n't know how else I can do that if they wo n't even accept my payment. It should be standard for someone to ask for a written agreement of some kind and he completely refused. I do n't feel comfortable paying $900.00 and running the chance of him going back and saying he did n't say that and not removing it from my credit. I also need proof of payment for a new apartment that I am trying to get.
