Collection agencies have no authority to do any such thing. If your case goes to court, and the court rules in favour of the collection agency, then your retirement could be garnished.
Acceleration in the collection of receivables will tend to cause the accounts receivable turnover to increase. Many companies use collection agencies to help them with this process.
No they don't, usually the OC hires or farm out their accounts that are in collection status to CA's.

Original creditors sale their accounts to collection agencies when the account has been past due and they have not effectively collected. At that time, the original creditor will charge off the balance from their accounts receivable and turn the account over to a collection agency.

Collection agencies do not and cannot freeze accounts in any state. Only the courts can do this. However, if a lender has a valid judgment against you for a bad debt, any collection agency they hire to recover it can serve your bank with an order of garnishee and attach the assets in the accounts you have there.

You can get free copies of your credit reports once a year and check them to see what accounts have been placed with collection agencies. You can contact those creditors for the agency information. The debtor need not be concerned about such matters as it is a certainty that the collector/creditor will be in contact with them in one manner or another.
One of the best agencies to contact for debt collection jobs are StudentAid and Kiplinger. Both agencies offer a great amount of help regarding debt collection jobs.
