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 !
