You should pay an debt that you owe, but they can't force you unless they take you to court over it. They could file a lawsuit that would end up as a judgment. They could then garnish your wages or take your tax refund to pay for it. Your best bet is to set up a payment arrangement with them. After you have paid then you can work on trying to remove it from your credit report.
