To pay debt collectors, you can typically do so by sending a payment through mail, making a payment over the phone, or paying online through the debt collector's website. It's important to keep records of your payments for your own records.
The best way to pay debt collectors is to communicate with them directly, negotiate a payment plan that you can afford, and make payments on time to settle the debt.
Yes, I am aware of the Harris Debt Collectors scam, which involves fraudulent practices by Harris and Harris debt collectors.

They need to get permission, once they have it, they can. An attachment of earnings order is a method by which money will be stopped from a defendant's wages to pay a debt and as such will only help if the defendant is in paid employment. :(

It depends on what you mean by “take” the settlement money. In my experience, a debt collector can generally accept a settlement payment on behalf of the creditor if the collector is authorized to handle that account. However, the amount paid and the terms of the settlement should be clearly agreed upon before sending any money. I would always ask for the settlement terms in writing, including whether the payment will satisfy the debt completely or only reduce the outstanding balance. It is also important to keep the payment receipt and any written confirmation of the agreement for your records. If there is a dispute about where the money should go or whether the debt has actually been settled, getting clarification from the original creditor or a qualified legal professional is a sensible step.
No. Debt collectors contracted by the owner of the debt to contact the debtor for payment. In most cases they will say anything and harass you into make a payment. Depending on how their payroll works- If you do make a payment, they get a comission on the payment you make.
Debt collectors are under no obligation to take a lesser amount than what you originally owe. Most will agree to and acceptable payment plan or offer a settlement if the original creditor allows it.
Debt collectors are interesting in the aspect of their skill set. They need to be good with people. They need to be able to convince people to pay but they also need to seem human, like they are still people.
