Yes, but neither a collection agency nor the original creditor has any legal obligation to communicate or accept the terms offered by a debt consolidation agency.
Yes.
Debt consolidation companies do not eliminate debt. Do not confuse this with debt settlement. Consolidation companies simply merge all of your debts together into one payment a month that you make to them and sometimes lower interest rates. Debt settlement companies, however, negotiate directly with your creditors/collection agencies to settle debts for a lower, agreed upon, lump sum. This in turn gets you out of debt quicker.
One of the advantages of financial consolidation is that bill collection agencies will stop calling asking for money. Another advantage is that all payments will be made together usually at a lower rate than most of your credit cards.
I have learned there is really no such thing as a consolidation loan anymore. The banks and other loan agencies do not carry this particular loan anymore.
Companies that offer debt consolidation for American consumers include, in order of ranking by consumers, National Debt Relief, CuraDebt, CareOne, American Debt Enders, Ready for Zero, Savvy Money, Franklin Debt Relief, Debt Consolidation Care, Debt Consolidation America, and Fast Track Debt Relief.
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.
Collection agencies can not freeze anything. Only courts can freeze bank accounts.
Yes.
Usually debt collection agencies only call if you have not paid a bill to one of their clients. Sometimes they come from credit card companies, health care companies, or student loans.

I believe I understand your question. They are called Collection Agencies. Hope this helps.
No they don't, usually the OC hires or farm out their accounts that are in collection status to CA's.
Most hospitals farm out collection accounts after 90 days of nonpayment to outside collection agencies.
No, I do not believe that is legal. There are a whole whack of laws which collection companies must follow. http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/oca-bc.nsf/eng/h_ca02149.html that is a link to the industry Canada website which will outline what collection agencies can and cannot do.

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. When the collection agency collects the debt, a portion of the amount received is paid the the collection agency and the remainder is returned to the original creditor as profit.
