As much as possible when you are going to pay or settle with a debt collection company, try to pay through a third party service like money order, wire transfer, etc. but avoid using your personal check because it would show your bank routing number. Make sure you keep all records of the transactions/payments that you make. Do not provide the debt collector your bank account number nor should you authorize them to make direct withdrawals from your account.

Does the creditor or the collection agency get the money you pay on a debt?
When a collection agency takes on a bad debt, in many cases they are "puchasing" the debt from the original creditor. When you then pay off the collection agency, your money will stay with that collection agency. This is the most common scenario, but some companies do have their own internal collection agencies (Capital One, for example, has their own collection subsidiary in Idaho - the Westmoreland Agency). Hope this helps!
