Yes. You have a legal contract to pay the agreed upon amount. If they did not accept your latest offer, they can send the bill to a collection agency.
This depends on the collection agency, but the age of the account, the location of the debt (that regulate collection laws by the state), play a big role. The older the account the higher the percentage that goes to the collection agency the percentage is negotiated between the agency and the client(this is a fact, part of a previous job).ive seen between 10% and some as high as 40%. which if you have a bill from an agency, it really isn't any f your business how much they get, you should be worried abour negotiations.
Yes, a lawyer may choose to turn over an unpaid bill to a collection agency as a means to recover the debt. However, they must comply with applicable laws and regulations governing debt collection practices.
Your collection agency will have the procedure, that's all the government will tell me.
