Collection agencies have no authority to do any such thing. If your case goes to court, and the court rules in favour of the collection agency, then your retirement could be garnished.
What does the term hold for collection mean when you deposit a check?
A check can only bounce twice before a bank will no longer accept it. As such, when collection agencies cash a check from a debtor and it bounces, they don't want to take the risk of trying to cash it and just hoping funds are available only to see it bounce again. If they did, then they would end up having to collect the delinquent funds all over again. As such, they will often use this tactic of asking the bank to 'hold a check for collection', which means that the bank will keep the check on file for up to 30 days and check every day if there are funds available. As soon as funds become available they will immediately cash it.

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 !

It will take 2-3 weeks to get your cash from an international check.

Absolutely, but there are steps you should take first, like documentation through letter writing and filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commision, which regulates collection agencies.

Good luck.
