Is it better to settle an account in collections or pay it in full via monthly payments?

Personally speaking, it is better to settle with a collection agency rather than making monthly payments. Theres only one ceveat....you must pay the collection agency in full. Example, lets say you owe $1000 to a credit card company. A collection agency will say, pay $600 NOW and this will settle the balance. So, if you dont have $600, its a 'catch-22'. You are better off making the monthly payments until the $1000 is paid.

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.
