Additionally, an entry may be made to show the fees associated with the collection process, if applicable. This ensures the account accurately reflects its status and any remaining liabilities.
My account balance with American express has been turned over to a collection agency. Does American express over a reduced payoff as a settlement?
when a company "sells" a bad debt to a collection agency it is at a fraction of the total bill due. So, if you have a bad debt to American express in the amount of $10,000, more than likely it was sold to the collection agency for 2-3000. The remainder can be written off by American Express on the taxes that are filed by the company. What you can do is contact the collection agency after saving 40% of the debt (or 4000) and offer to negotiate a settlement. If you settle for $4000.00 you are saving $6000 and the collection agency is making 50-100% profit on the bad debt. This what the debt settlement companies do - no sense in paying the settlement company fees when we can negotiate ourselves.
If you have an account that went to a collection agency however you paid it in full how long does it take for that collection account to be removed from your credit report?

What do you do if an account was turned over to a collection agency but the original creditor accepted your payment in full?
Contact the original creditor. Provide proof of your payment. They need to retract the account from the collection agency. The account could have been sold to the collection agency or simply assigned to them. For your purposes, it does not matter which situation applies. You paid the original creditor and your credit report needs to reflect this. After they do what they need to do to get the account back; you then dispute the entries with all three credit bureaus. The original account should show as a paid collection and the other collection account should be removed from your credit report entirely.

What is this charge on your cell phone bill?

Can a collection agency charge interest on an account they bought and do you have to pay them since you never entered into a contract with them?
Sorry but yes they can. In the original contract there was a clause about what actions could be taken if you defaulted on the agreement and one of those actions is that the account could be turned over to a collection agency. So, even though you didn't directly enter into a contract with the collection agency you agreed to abide by the contract and the collection agency now legally owns the contract. It works the same way as when you purchase a house. At some point the original lender on a house may sell the contract and you will be paying a different lender.
