Collection agencies can only charge interest if you agreed to it in your original contract. If they actually bought the debt they shouldn't be able to charge any additional interest on it since you did not sign a contract with them allowing them to do so. Please keep in mind that not all collection agencies buy debt. Some are still collecting on behalf of the original creditor which means interest and fees could continue to accrue.
