Answer

Yes, if you have an outstanding balance due and especially if you provided your social security number on your application. The collection agency will then identify any accounts that have additional pertinent information such as social security number (if not provided), phone numbers and alternate points of contact. The agency will then attempt to collect the outstanding balance. If they fail to collect the debt, the delinquent account will be listed to your credit bureau. When you apply for any future loan, revolving account or have any one check your bureau for credit worthiness (i.e. apartment, cell phone or utility company) your college course debt will be listed as an unpaid debt. The debt may have also accrued interest, late fees and the collection agency fees.

If the collection agency didn't collect anything from you do you still owe the collection agency anything in the state of Wisconsin?

Of course. If it's an unpaid debt, the collection agency owning the debt may try to collect it. And beware, they can track you down no matter what. However, they have to abide by certain rules, which are defined in the Fair Debt Collection Act.

What to do if a School goes into a collection agency?

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.


Can a collection agency report an account from the year the account was handed over to them?

No, this is called "re-aging" the debt, so that it stays within the statutes for collection and legal action within your state. Dispute this with the credit bureau, and of course, keep all account records for proof.


Can collection agency dip into your paychecks or income tax?

They can get garnishments on your pay...and be sent money from everyone you get. And of course, any and all costs and accruing interest of having to do so, will be included in what you owe them. Taxes can really only be garnished for debts to governments...or for loans they guaranteed (like student loans). But of course, the collection agency can attach your banking accounts and as soon as you deposit the tax check take it. Creditors, with support of the the courts and society, do this all the time as a regular course of business to collect debts owed to them from people who refuse to uphold their legal agreement to pay.
