If you want to compromise on the basis of the offers made by them, you may proceed if you are satisfied with the offer.

Their written statement may be a false content but that will not affect or change the scenario especially if both the parties agree to settle the matter out of court and you may decide to withdraw the case.

You may be in touch with your own advocate on all such developm,ents and proceed as suggested

Generally terms and conditions of compromise are different than pleadings of case, if you satisfied with terms and conditions of compromise/settlement then you can do compromise else contest the case.
