Not if you both agree to a payment deal. Make sure it's in writing. Also, don't be taken aback by the supposed power of a collection attorney. In all liklihood, he's nothing but another bill collector who bought your debt from the original lending company and is trying to get whatever he can from you. Rarely are judgments sought and granted. Don't let him intimidate you and know your rights. * A collection agency or agent cannot represent themselves as an attorney. It not only violates the FDCPA it is also a criminal offense. The debtor should NEVER agree to any terms without, as noted, their being in written form. Insist that the collection representative send written confirmation of the debt on the legal stationary of the firm or private counsel. In addition be aware that one of the largest collection attorney firms, Mann-Bracken has been licensed to arbitrate rather than using regular legal process. The rules and enforcement of arbitration awards as with any litigation should be discussed with qualified legal counsel before the debtor agrees to any terms whatsoever. In my experience lawsuits are not uncommon either by original creditors or 3rd party account holders. Capital One has contracted with an independent firm (Mann-Bracken) and has been very successful in litigation, so they are a card issuer that one should use caution when dealing with.

Where is your attorney? You need to get an attorney to look into the matter. However, you can also write a letter and fax it to the attorney labeling as SUMMON TO RESPOND.

Notices and such probably crossed in the mail/processing. All creditors are forbidden from continuing direct collection actions once the BK is filed (without getting specific legal approval). Advise the attorney of the BK filing shortly before his letter date, and he should back off and file a claim with the court.

Can a collection agency report an unpaid balance on your credit report under public records that you received no subpoena for?
Yes. Finding a judgment from a past due collection account on the public record portion of your credit report is quite common. You would need to research your state's law and the state the CA was operating in to determine the requirements for notification. Many states only require the CA to attempt notification, such as sending a letter to your last known address.
