Perhaps. Collection agencies are governed by state laws. You may be able to find out if they can take such action by consulting the creditor/debtor laws of your state.
Sorry, but more specific information is not possible w/o knowing the state of residency.

No, as they are the legal agent of the original Creditor and the arrangements made with the collection agency are binding on the original Creditor.
Do you need to include account numbers for both the collection agency and the original creditor on your bankruptcy form?

Why original creditors sale accounts to a collection agency?
Original creditors sale their accounts to collection agencies when the account has been past due and they have not effectively collected. At that time, the original creditor will charge off the balance from their accounts receivable and turn the account over to a collection agency. When the collection agency collects the debt, a portion of the amount received is paid the the collection agency and the remainder is returned to the original creditor as profit.
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.
What is does it mean for an original creditor to recall their collection?
Recall of a debt by a creditor is when the original creditor asks for the debt to be returned to them after they have sold it, often to a collection agency. This may occur if the debt has not been collected for a certain amount of time, and the debt will be sold to another agency to collect, or if the debtor offers the original creditor a settlement.

Once a debt is given to a collection agency can you get the creditor to take it out of the creditor's hands?
Once a debt is handed over to a collection agency, it's typically out of the original creditor's hands. However, it may be possible to negotiate with the creditor to recall the debt from the collection agency, but this process can be challenging and may require convincing the creditor of your ability to repay the debt directly. It's advisable to communicate directly with both the creditor and the collection agency to explore your options and find a resolution.

That's the original creditor's "in house" collection department. They are NOT subject to the FDCPA as are 3rd party collection agencys.
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!
What do you do if an account was turned over to a collection agency but the original creditor accepted your payment in full?
Contact the original creditor. Provide proof of your payment. They need to retract the account from the collection agency. The account could have been sold to the collection agency or simply assigned to them. For your purposes, it does not matter which situation applies. You paid the original creditor and your credit report needs to reflect this. After they do what they need to do to get the account back; you then dispute the entries with all three credit bureaus. The original account should show as a paid collection and the other collection account should be removed from your credit report entirely.
