What can you do if a collection agency adds almost two thousand dollars to an old account in four months?

Sounds like usury. Which is against the law. It's basically charging a consumer inflated fees and very high interest. It would be a good idea to get legal advice. Attorneys offer free consultation or at a minimal fee to explain the options available.
