Can a collection agency legally demand you tell them where you are getting the money to pay off your debt?

Absolutely not. A collection agency can only demand payment of you. If you think the collection agency with which you're dealing is acting unethically, you should check out the Fair Debt Collection Act. You can file a formal complaint and the agency can be fined. * Legally they cannot "demand" anything, they can request, they can debate, they can negotiate, assuming the debtor wants to spend the time engaging in such, but they cannot "demand". The debtor always has the option of hanging up the phone and refusing to communicate with a collector or creditor, as there is no U.S. law that requires the debtor to do accept nor particpate in collection calls.


Can a debt collection agency call your work?

No. Once the party involved has informed the collector that they do not want them calling their place of employment the calls must end. Some collectors however simply will not listen and continue to break FDCPA laws. If this is the case the collection agency should be reported to the office of the state's Attorney General. This can be done by phone, but it is best to follow up in a letter. Keep a log of any calls received after the request has been made.

Is it wise for you to give the collection agency post-dated checks 3 to 6 months in advance if that is what they keep calling and demanding?

Absolutely not! Never ever do this. A collection agency can demand anything, however they have no legal powers. If the CA is working for the orignal creditor all they can do is continue mail and phone contact. The debtor even has the option of sending a "cease and desist" letter to stop them from any contact at all. Before legal action can be taken, the OC has to refer the account to a collection attorney licensed to practice in the state where the debtor resides. Or the account is sold to a third party collector who after attempting to reach an agreement can refer the account to an attorney for legal action. All this takes a great deal of time, the debtor should never be rushed into making a decision as to a settlement or any payment agreements. NEVER GIVE A COLLECTION AGENCY YOUR PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION!


Will your credit rating be impacted by an account being placed with a collection agency?

Unfortunately, yes. The original people you owed have written you off and when they sold your account to the collection agency they notified the credit agencies at the same time. At this stage, you probably gain nothing from paying the collection agency. They are jackals who buy these delinquent accounts for pennies on the dollar on the assumption that they can either cajole, threaten, or frighten you into paying something that only they can benefit from. Whatever else you might do, I do not advise you answer the phone to these people. You cannot reason or argue with them, because they work from a series of scripts that they have to stick to, because each gets more frightening than the last as they work you over.Phil
