    DCA - Debt Collection Agency.

    no DCA will ever refuse an offer in writing. They will just say its not acceptable and want more.

    Zenshi, even if they don't accept initially keep paying the small amounts. It's fine (and probably a better idea) to send your SOA - be polite to them after all as you want to prove to them you're doing the best you can so they accept quicker.
