the amt. of the debt is $1778.67.
is there anything i can do to get out of this? and if not, is there anything i can do to lesson any blow to my credit history.

Almost made it. About all you can do is try and negoiate an out of court settlement. I'm sure as bad as your credit history looks with this chargeoff, a paid collection won't hurt it.
