Can a creditor in NC refuse to accept monthly payments and threaten to garnish wages at 30 percent of gross?

They can refuse any payment offer that is different than the amount specified in the contract. And don't think of the statement that they will garnish 30% of your wages as a threat. It's a warning, but they will need to sue you and get a court order to do it.


Can a collection agency refuse a payment?

Q1) "If I offer to make a payment on this debt can they legally refuse it?" Yes. They are under NO obligation to accept anything less than the original agreed amount. Simply, this means that you originally had a payment plan and breached it. They do not have to accept any other offered plan (or payments). Q2) "I have heard that if a creditor refuses any type of payment on a debt that it was automatically considered paid in full. Is this true?" NO!! NO!! NO!! That is an old 'wives tail' that probably derived from the requirement that payments must be in 'legal tender' and if refused, the debt MIGHT be found as waived. For example, you can pay this debt (in full) in pennies, nickles, dimes, dollars, etc. If the creditor refuses these legal tenders, the debt MIGHT be found to be waived. However, the creditor is NOT obligated to accept less than the full amount, nor in non-legal tender (horses, hogs, chickens, etc.). ....more about it you can visit: http://lawvolunteers.com/law/838/42838-c-collection-agency-refuse-payment.html
