Worst case it bears the 5 year SOL of a written contract, even though it doesn't actually conform to the definition of a written contract.

A collection agency can't MAKE you do anything and if you don't have $100 a month to pay them you don't have it. However, IF they sue and win a judgment they CAN use the courts to make you pay thru wage garnishment, bank levy, and siezure of non-exempt assets.
