Yes if they are licensed to collect in that state.
Added Comment:
Technically true, however, ONLY if they solely own the debt. If they are acting on behalf of your credit card company, then "no" they can not ... NOT on their own accord. They must actually get permission.
A lot depends on the actual action. Most agencies purchase these bad debt accounts for very small amounts .... and it's the agency that tries to get whatever they can out of it. It depends on their initial investment.
If you pay "something", they can not take you to court... You are showing attempt to pay... doesn't matter if it's a dollar OR $10....
Always better though, to try and settle or something like that.

If you are not refusing to pay and you pay the debt, they would have no reason to sue you.

Some states only allow original creditors to sue and not the collection agency.
