Debt collectors cannot harass or abuse you. They cannot swear, threaten to illegally harm you or your property, threaten you with illegal actions, or falsely threaten you with actions they do not intend to take. They also cannot make repeated calls over a short period to annoy or harass you.
If you pay the collection agency directly, the debt is removed from your credit report in six years from the date of payment. If you don't pay, it purges six years from the last activity date, but you may be at risk for wage garnishment.

Find out background information of the collector. Focus on business. Make a partial payment of the debt, enough to cover the commission of the collector. Do not bow to any threats but instead ask to speak to a senior staff. In case of a threat to sue, reason with the company of the extra cost involved in the process.
