No. In fact, they are required by law to notify you of who they are and that they are attempting to collect a debt. This is covered under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

When you then pay off the collection agency, your money will stay with that collection agency. This is the most common scenario, but some companies do have their own internal collection agencies (Capital One, for example, has their own collection subsidiary in Idaho - the Westmoreland Agency).
