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.

When does a credit card issuer charge off an account after the account has been closed?
Usually 180 days after DLA. Be advised a charge off does not indicate that the debt is not valid and subject to collection procedures.
Will collection accounts be taken off your credit report seven years after they appeared?
Derogatory information, like collection accounts, can legally appear on a consumer's credit report for seven years from the date of last activity according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This has nothing to do with when the account was first reported, or last paid. However, some collection agencies do not properly report the correct DLA, using a date of service, or date placed (with their agency). This can provide a consumer with grounds to dispute an account that had "activity" prior to seven years ago. They will not be taken off automatically, you must write to the CRA and request that the information be removed. * FDCPA and federal consumer laws require the debt to be expunged from the credit report when the time limit for such debt expires. As noted, credit bureaus are lax in their record keeping and a consumer will often need to send a written request and documentation to have the debt removed. Be advised judgments can be renewed and therefore can be replaced on a credit report indefinitely. Chapter 13 dismissed BK's remain for 7 years, a discharged chaper 7 or 13 will remain for 10 years.
How do you settle a old credit card debt you are being sued for?
First the debtor should determine if the debt is valid. All states have SOL concerning creditor debt where the time limit is set for a creditor to pursue litigation to recover monies owed. If the SOL defense does not apply and the debt is valid the debtor can attempt to negotiate with the creditor for a less then the full amount owed and/or payment arrangements. Please be advised that the SOL defense is not automatic, the defendant must be the one to file on it. If the debt is negotiated in lieu of a hearing (trial) the debtor must be certain to obtain a written contract stating all the details and signed by the person of authority before making any settlement/payment. It is not advisable for the debtor to allow a creditor pursuing debt collection information to his or her personal finances such as a bank account.
How do you find a debtor's bank account information when you have a judgment against them?
One of the difficulties a judgment creditor has is executing the judgment. The court will not assist the creditor in finding assets belonging to the debtor unless the creditor has filed and been granted a motion of discovery. The options for finding a debtor's bank account are somewhat limited unless the creditor has a copy of a check or the name of the banking facility. One method is to call bank branches that are closest to where the person resides and see if you can persuade the bank to tell you if the person of that name banks there. Be advised, the bank has no legal obligation to impart the information (and they seldom will) unless they are presented with a court order.
Can a credit card company take all of your money out of your account in Minnesota without notifying you?
No, creditors must follow the proper legal procedures according to the laws of the state where the debtor resides. There are two exceptions, one is when arbitration is allowed under UCC laws. Even if a creditor wins an arbitration case they must file for a judgment in the debtor's state in accordance with the existing statutes. The second exception is if the debtor holds a checking or savings account with the same bank that is the issuer of the credit card, the bank generally will have a "set off" clause in the lending agreement. This stipulation allows the bank to withdraw funds from the debtor's account(s) to cover a defaulted agreement without the necessity of court procedure or notification of the account holder(s). Be advised that not all states have laws that allow a "set off" action to be implemented against the debtor.

Where do i pay my debt collection?
As much as possible when you are going to pay or settle with a debt collection company, try to pay through a third party service like money order, wire transfer, etc. but avoid using your personal check because it would show your bank routing number. Make sure you keep all records of the transactions/payments that you make. Do not provide the debt collector your bank account number nor should you authorize them to make direct withdrawals from your account.
