If you don't receive a summons or any documentation regarding a pending lawsuit by a collection agency how do you know if it's really true?
If you are being sued, you will always receive a summons. Sometimes it is delivered by a process server sometimes by registered mail. A collection agency telling you, you are being sued, does not necessarily make it fact. Only attorneys can file suit and they have to adhere to the state laws where the person resides. A collection agency cannot sue you regardless of what they claim. Sorry, I should add you need to be aware of the difference in collection agency and collection attorney. For instance Mann-Bracken LLC, are collection attorneys and/or arbitrators. They can initiate a lawsuit.
Can you be sued by the original creditor if they have already sold your case to a collection agency?

Do you have to pat a collection agency?
Assuming you mean "pay" instead of "pat," the answer is no. However, if the debt is yours - you can be sued for it. And if the collection agency wins, you can have your wages garnished or your checking account. Keep in mind that each state has a different statute of limitations (SOL) for debt, and collection agencies often try to collect on debt that is past the SOL. Once it is past the SOL, you cannot be sued for it.
Can a collection agency freeze your bank account in NY?

Can the collection agency be sued for not providing validation of debt after it has been requested?
Anyone can be sued for anything. Whether you will win is another matter. If a collection agency demands a payment and cannot or will not provide proof that the debt is valid, it should not be paid. You might then have a case for harassment if they continue to demand payment without validating the debt.
