You cannot be arrested for owing money. If a collection rep. even hints at such an action being taken against you. She/he is in violation of Federal/State laws, and can be in serious trouble. An agency that has "bought" your account from the original creditor can take legal action such as a lawsuit. If they win they can garnish wages, bank accounts and take other legal actions to recover money that is owed. The amount of garnishment that can be ordered or other property seized is governed by state laws (in some cases Federal and State laws apply).You have many rights that afford you protection from actions of collection agencies/creditors. I don't know what state you reside in so I can't be specific.Please email me if you would care to discuss this further. Take Care

Should payment be sent to the credit card company or the collection agency?
If you have a collection agency working for the credit card company then it is them you need to make payments too as it is now too late to pay the credit card company. They have sold the debt to the collection company and you will have to pay any charges on top of the debt now also. Try not to let it get that far in future, but that's easier said than done.

What will happen if you do not show up for court when being sued by collection agency or credit card company in the state of Texas?
What may happen is the court will give the "Creditor" the ruling to Garnish Wages. Its a good idea to WRITE a letter to the creditor or Collection agency and see if you can reduce what you owe. You can negotiate a lower payment. Make sure you can afford that payment. What may happen is the court will give the "Creditor" the ruling to Garnish Wages.

If the collection agency did not accept your payment, the debt should be discharged from their control. You might need to contact an attorney to make sure these debts are removed from your credit report.

Depending from state to state, most collection agencies cannot garnish your check unless you have signed for them to do so or they have a court order to do so. If you have signed I believe you can still rescind that agreement if you are current on payments. You can consult an attorney free of charge over the phone if necessary, find one in your area.
