To access to bank account as such, no. But if the debtor agrees to have ACH for payments, then the creditor or collection agencies can withdraw funds, or depending on the state laws a Judge can authorize to garnish wages from the bank. Find laws that apply to the debt in the resources box
With a judgment and execution, the sheriff can. Without it no. But the collection agency can never legally access it. However, there are ways to do it illegally. Can the creditor do it... ? If you have a citizens acct and a debt with them, then yes, they can legally access whatever accounts you have with them. But a creditor can't just get access to you bank accounts. (I own a collection agency)
Include the original account number if you are including the original creditor. Include the account number for the collection agency if you do not have the orignal creditor information and are including them as "Care Of" for service.
Well in Canada they cannot, unless it is a joint bank account or the family member co-signed for the loan.
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.
== == A Deragatory record is an account that has had a history of late payments. A collection account is an account that was not paid on time or at all, and was closed by the creditor and sold 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.
Same thing happened to me..... what does this mean? I have not heard anything back from original creditor and was making timely montly payments to collection agency... I am confused and a little scared
THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR WILL BE ABLE TO HELP WITH REMOVING AN ACCOUNT BY REPORTING THIS TO THE BUREAUS. DO FIND OUT IF THEIR IS A NECESSARY STEP IN CONTACTING THE COLLECTION AGENCY FOR THESE SERVICES TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.
Generally a Creditor will wait 180 days from the date of the last payment before passing the account to a Collection Agency
I believe so - When you get married you assume all the debts.
Paying the collection agency will clear up your account much quicker and some creditors will return the payment to you if you send it directly to them. Most creditors sign a contract with a collection agency and cannot discuss the debt with the debtor once they place it with the agency, they must refer all correspondence, communications and payments to the agency for the life of that contract.
No, the collection agency is now the rightful owner of the debt in question and the original creditor has removed the account from their books.
