I presume your question is in regards to a bill for tuition (and perhaps other fees) claimed by the school, and that the school has sold this debt to a collection agency. I am convinced that tuition for education/training services is unsecured debt. Of course the school can withhold certificates that were to be awarded upon satisfactory completion of the education, and may not list you as matriculated/graduated in their records until they are satisfied. As you indicate that the school has sold the debt to a collection agency, then such action to suspend the economic value of the education probably has already happened. So now you have an unsecured debt being pursued by a collection agency -- the same as all other unsecured debts being pursued by collection agencies. Apparently, you are about to learn-the-hard-way about the details of such collections. If the collection agency does not get you to make payment that is adequate for a negotiated settlement between you and them, then they might resell the debt to another collection agency that will start pursuing you again, or simply give-up pursuing you, or bring a civil suit against you.

What percent of collections does a collections agency get for a medical bill collection?

This depends on the collection agency, but the age of the account, the location of the debt (that regulate collection laws by the state), play a big role. The older the account the higher the percentage that goes to the collection agency the percentage is negotiated between the agency and the client(this is a fact, part of a previous job).ive seen between 10% and some as high as 40%. which if you have a bill from an agency, it really isn't any f your business how much they get, you should be worried abour negotiations.
