If you are advised not to give your bank account information to a collection agency does that mean you should not pay by personal check?
It is in the best interest of the debtor to not allow access to his or her financial information and most particularly not to agree to an automatic withdrawal from a bank account by a collection agency. The safest method is to pay other means, such as a USP money order with return receipt.

Can a collection agency take nintey percent of the money in your joint checking account and savings account?
A collection agency can take 100% of the money in your joint banking accounts, regardless of who deposited it. If the debt is owed, and there are assets in the name of the debtor, those assets are in jeopardy. It is not easy to hide these even by trying to shelter them in an account with someone else's name. If the asset exists, it will be found in most cases, and a collection agency that locates it will take all they can the first time they hit it.

Does the creditor or the collection agency get the money you pay on a debt?
When a collection agency takes on a bad debt, in many cases they are "puchasing" the debt from the original creditor. When you then pay off the collection agency, your money will stay with that collection agency. This is the most common scenario, but some companies do have their own internal collection agencies (Capital One, for example, has their own collection subsidiary in Idaho - the Westmoreland Agency). Hope this helps!
