Nope. Advise the collection agencey that this was settled with the original creditor. You may have to provide them with a copy of a canceled check or money order. You can also have the creditor call the agency. Some will, some won't.

Does the creditor or the collection agency get the money you pay on a debt?
When a collection agency takes on a bad debt, in many cases they are "puchasing" the debt from the original creditor. When you then pay off the collection agency, your money will stay with that collection agency. This is the most common scenario, but some companies do have their own internal collection agencies (Capital One, for example, has their own collection subsidiary in Idaho - the Westmoreland Agency). Hope this helps!
