Can a collection agency collect interest on your debt?

Yes, Collection agency can do that. But contact a good collection agency like Guardian Credit Services, they know will how to deal with customers to get money


If you are trying to clear up your debt do you pay the collection agency or the original business you owe to and have them try to buy back your debt?

Your main consideration is that your credit report should be at its most favorable. Therefore, whomever you contact, make sure you get in writing that you will pay the debt and, in exchange, you expect the debt to be removed from your report, or at least that the debt should be converted to "good." Usually, once the collection agency is involved, the original company will not deal with you. This is because they now have a contract with the collection agency, who will get a portion of the collected debt. Capish?


How can you remove a collection agency entry from your report if you have paid the original creditor and there is no need to deal with the agency?

Send proof of payment to the original creditor and the information being reported against you by the collection agency. Request that they make sure the collection account is withdrawn and their original account is listed as paid. Upon receipt of that letter, send a dispute letter to the credit reporting agencies with your proof of payment. Follow up until your credit report is correct. updated entry: This is pretty good, but one problem is that neither the creditor nor the collection agency will be all that motivated to do anything since you have already paid the debt. But is really your only option at this point. Keep doing this over and over (every 2-3 months). I am always surprised, but sometimes things get removed on my 3rd or 4th time.


How do you negotiate with a collection agency for the best deal?

The best thing you can do is put a little time between when the collection agency first contacted you and when you plan to pay. Don't do anything fast. Slow it down. They will get tired of calling and be willing to settle after 30 to 60 days have passed.

Can collection agencies take you to the court?

Absolutely they can ! The only reason a person needs to deal with a collection agency, is because they defaulted on payments to the original company. That company passed the account to a debt-recovery agency, who paid the sum YOU owe to the original company. If you simply refuse to pay the collection agency, they have the legal right to take you to court to recover the debt !

Do you have to deal with a collection agency to resolve a debt?

NO. Once you enter into an agreement with a collection agency no one else can collect against that debt. If you have other debts outstanding not covered in the agreement then another agency may be authorized to try and collect those debts. Collections agencies do not sue people. They can ask the courts to award a judgment or wage garnishment in order to help collect bad debt.


Your former insurance co was to have paid the bill five years ago now you are being threatened by a collection agency and this is the first time you have seen the bill?

Before communicating any more with the collection agency, check with the insurance company to see what happened in that case, and/or with the original company they claim you owe. Most companies would have charged off the bill by now, and you owe nothing. The collection agency may have bought the deal for cents on the dollar and the money they collect doesn't go to the original vendor. It won't do you any good to pay this collection agency, since it starts up the payments again. If they continue to threaten, you have rights. Tell them to send you a bill in writing and to stop calling.

If a bill has been sent to collections is it better to pay the creditor the full amount or pay the collection agency?

AnswerOnce the account has been placed with a collection agency, it usually doesn't matter who you pay. Sometimes the bank will accept your $$, other times, they will refer you to the CA (agency).If the agency treated you in an abusive matter, then by all means report the behavior to the creditor and pay them dirrectly. A sympathetic ear in their office can get you a really good deal on settling.It matters, pay the creditor.
