What else can I help you with?
If you offer to pay a lessor amount on a hospital bill then was previously agreed upon can they still send the account to a collection agency?
Yes. You have a legal contract to pay the agreed upon amount. If they did not accept your latest offer, they can send the bill to a collection agency.
If you are making sporadic payments to a collection agency and they cash them can they still sue the cosigner?
Unless you have a specific repayment plan that the collection agency agreed to, there is no legal reason that cannot sue the cosigner.
If something has been sent to collection can the collection agency charge you interest?
If the original creditor charged interest then the collection agency will continue to accrue interest at either your states legal rate or whatever you agreed to in the original contract until the debt is either paid or sold to another collection agency or placed with an attorneys firm for legal litigation.
How do you pay a collection account?
Have the collection agency send a written agreement accepting the settlement or payment amount agreed upon BEFORE rendering any payment(s).
Can a collection agency pull more money out of your account than you agreed upon?
Not legally, no. Call them and demand they replace your funds.
How does having a collection agency affect your credit score?
Having a collection agency involved can negatively impact your credit score because it indicates that you have not paid a debt as agreed. This can lower your credit score and make it harder to borrow money in the future.
What should you do if you received a bill from a collection agency but you and your doctor had negotiated a different price but you don't have it in writing?
Write your doctor and try to get the terms in a letter (that would remediate the proof issue that you raised). If the doctor is honest and this is truly your agreement with him/her, that should get the collection agency to stop calling, unless they are calling you for a portion of the unpaid, agreed-upon balance.
Can a collection agency charge interest on an account they bought and do you have to pay them since you never entered into a contract with them?
Sorry but yes they can. In the original contract there was a clause about what actions could be taken if you defaulted on the agreement and one of those actions is that the account could be turned over to a collection agency. So, even though you didn't directly enter into a contract with the collection agency you agreed to abide by the contract and the collection agency now legally owns the contract. It works the same way as when you purchase a house. At some point the original lender on a house may sell the contract and you will be paying a different lender.
Can i have your aqw accounts?

What does insufficient number of accounts paid as agreed mean?
This means out of the total number of accounts you have, you have not paid on enough of them as agreed when you where issued the account. Example would be late payments.
Can a collection agency reject a payment from you if it is less than the payment for the settlement they asked for?
Yes, a creditor/collector has no legal obligation to accept payment for anything other than the agreed upon amount. The same premise applies to making less than the minimum payment on credit accounts as well, such action would render the agreement null and void and the creditor can legally demand payment in full.
If you have a 2300 dollar hospital bill and you make 20 dollar monthly payments are they allowed to send the matter to a collection agency?
No, as long as you have contacted the hospital and they are aware that you are paying a monthly amount and have agreed to accept that amount, they can not send you to collections. Most hospitals also have financial hardship programs and charity options. You should contact them to see if you qualify. I work for University Of Maryland and do ER billing. If you have a debt and the collecting party has proof of this debt, they have the option of selling your debt to a collection agency unless otherwise agreed upon through some legal channel.
