Legal Tender
Legal tender refers to any form of money that must be accepted by creditors to settle a debt, as mandated by law. This ensures that the debtor has the necessary means to repay the creditor, regardless of the form in which the money is presented.
If the bill collector refused the payment, you can inform them that you made the payment to the original company and request that they update your account accordingly. Keep documentation of the payment made to the original company in case any disputes arise. It's important to communicate clearly with both parties to ensure your payment is properly accounted for and reflected in your records.
In the United States, there is no federal law that requires businesses to accept coins as payment. However, the Federal Reserve states that U.S. coins and currency are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Individual businesses may have their own policies regarding coin acceptance.

However, they must follow certain rules, such as not breaching the peace or using force to reclaim the property. After repossession, the creditor must provide notice to the debtor and sell the property in a commercially reasonable manner.
In New York, repossession laws require the lender to send a notice before repossessing a vehicle. The lender cannot breach the peace while repossessing the vehicle, which means they cannot use force or threats to take back the vehicle. If the lender breaches the peace, the borrower may be entitled to damages.
