Can you negotiate with collection agencies without making a one time payment or is this the only way to make a deal with them?

Some collection agencies are authorized by their clients to make payment arrangements. Some agency actually purchase the debt and will or won't make arrangements. It is up to the individual agencies and their policies.
Your best option is to contact the original creditor, explain why you fell behind, be very apologetic, and ask for payment arrangements. Legally, they are not required to accept payments once you fall delinquent. They do not even have to accept partial payments.

Can the collection agency be sued for not providing validation of debt after it has been requested?
Anyone can be sued for anything. Whether you will win is another matter. If a collection agency demands a payment and cannot or will not provide proof that the debt is valid, it should not be paid. You might then have a case for harassment if they continue to demand payment without validating the debt.

If you want to get the creditors off your back without filing for bankruptcy, you can negotiate with your creditors or even hire the services of a credit counselor or debt settlement firm who will negotiate with your creditors and help you establish a payment plan.

Is there a way to avoid the high collections fee for a student loan that has just been sent to collections if you can pay off the full amount?
You can always negotiate a settlement with the collection agency. When calling the collection agency tell them you will pay the full amount of the debt but not the fees. Collection agencies never buy debt for the full amount so they always have room to negotiate. They will more than likely take the amount without fees because they are still making a profit.

Should you pay of an active collection for 2500.00 Planning on purchasing a home in 3-4 months Will it increase the score if paid If so how much will my score increase?
WAIT before you pay!!! If you pay it now it will totally affect your credit score. Make the payment escrow during closing. Now if you can negotiate a deletion letter from the collection agency, this is a different story. First try to negotiate with the agency with the deletion letter as the only acceptable agreement. You will not pay without getting this letter. This means that a contract is written up to say that they will delete the negative market off all credit bureaus once payment has been received. This must be signed and dated. If they do not, no problem, you can place the payment in escrow and they will get paid but your current score will be used. Now if the collection is over 24 months, it will not affect your credit score as much so escrow is the best possible solution unless you can get an approved deletion letter.

I'm being sued for medical bills by a collection company and they are threatening to take 25 of my wages if i dont pay in full. Can a consolidation company help me get into payments intead?
The short answer is yes. But, be advised, there a zillions of horror stories about these companies causing more troubles, and causing huge expenses (frequently by them basically becoming a finance company)...so you must be careful. Many collection agencies will work with you on a payment plan without having someone else get involved. Might be worth discussing.

How can a different IRS office add a tax lien if you already have a payment plan in place in Fresno without signed authorization to do this?
The IRS has the right to file a lien at any time after a demand for payment has been issued and 10 days have passed without payment. The fact that you are on a payment plan does not mean that they will not file a lien to secure their interest. The IRS operates its collection arm from several different service centers around the country. You may have made your arrangement with someone in Fresno, and had a lien come from Cincinatti for example....perfectly normal.
