Plaza Associates Collection Agency; Ripoff, Took Money and Ran New York New York

I paid Plaza Associates the money I owed Spiegel for a credit card. Plaza Associates accepted the money orders I used to settle this account. They sent me a letter that stated this account was settled. I sent it to Experian. Experian send it to Spiegel and Spiegel said they had not received notice of payment. It is still on my credit report being shown as a collection item that was charged off. Plaza Associates told me to call "800" information for the name of a company called Credit Member Services since they would credit me with the settlemnt with the credit bureaus. There is no such agency listed in the "800" information services. Plaza Associates took my money.
