In most cases, a collection agency cannot take your personal possessions. Depending on the amount, they may be able to garnish your wages which is what would happen first.

How can a deported person get their personal belongings?

If you have been deported, and there are some possessions that you were not able to take with you when you were deported, then those possessions are in the hands of some other person or possibly agency. You can ask the person who has your possessions to send them to you. You will probably be asked to pay the shipping cost. If, however, you don't even know where these possessions are, or who has them, then it is not likely that you will be able to recover them, unless you have a friend who is in a position to investigate on your behalf.

Once a debt is given to a collection agency can you get the creditor to take it out of the creditor's hands?

Once a debt is handed over to a collection agency, it's typically out of the original creditor's hands. However, it may be possible to negotiate with the creditor to recall the debt from the collection agency, but this process can be challenging and may require convincing the creditor of your ability to repay the debt directly. It's advisable to communicate directly with both the creditor and the collection agency to explore your options and find a resolution.


Can collection agencies take you to the court?

Absolutely they can ! The only reason a person needs to deal with a collection agency, is because they defaulted on payments to the original company. That company passed the account to a debt-recovery agency, who paid the sum YOU owe to the original company. If you simply refuse to pay the collection agency, they have the legal right to take you to court to recover the debt !
