The best thing you can do is put a little time between when the collection agency first contacted you and when you plan to pay. Don't do anything fast. Slow it down. They will get tired of calling and be willing to settle after 30 to 60 days have passed.

Can you negotiate with collection agencies without making a one time payment or is this the only way to make a deal with them?

Some collection agencies are authorized by their clients to make payment arrangements. Some agency actually purchase the debt and will or won't make arrangements. It is up to the individual agencies and their policies. Your best option is to contact the original creditor, explain why you fell behind, be very apologetic, and ask for payment arrangements. Legally, they are not required to accept payments once you fall delinquent. They do not even have to accept partial payments.

If you are trying to clear up your debt do you pay the collection agency or the original business you owe to and have them try to buy back your debt?

Your main consideration is that your credit report should be at its most favorable. Therefore, whomever you contact, make sure you get in writing that you will pay the debt and, in exchange, you expect the debt to be removed from your report, or at least that the debt should be converted to "good." Usually, once the collection agency is involved, the original company will not deal with you. This is because they now have a contract with the collection agency, who will get a portion of the collected debt. Capish?

Do you have to deal with a collection agency to resolve a debt?

NO. Once you enter into an agreement with a collection agency no one else can collect against that debt. If you have other debts outstanding not covered in the agreement then another agency may be authorized to try and collect those debts. Collections agencies do not sue people. They can ask the courts to award a judgment or wage garnishment in order to help collect bad debt.

Can collection agencies take you to the court?

Absolutely they can ! The only reason a person needs to deal with a collection agency, is because they defaulted on payments to the original company. That company passed the account to a debt-recovery agency, who paid the sum YOU owe to the original company. If you simply refuse to pay the collection agency, they have the legal right to take you to court to recover the debt !
