Debt free in Jan 2009

Hi,
I owe £1300ish to a debt collection company, I have been saving £150 a month and will have £1000 in December. If I offer this company £800 to clear the debt as part of a deal to get them off my back, do you think they will take it?
Has anyone else done this and managed to clear their debts?
Thank you
