I had contracted with a collection agency to try to obtain payment for me on a deliquent account for $1750. About 25 days into the contract, the deliquent account (DA) left a message for me that they would like to work together again and wants to negotiate payment. As specified in the contract, I contacted the collection agency (CA) and let them know. The CA asked what I would like to do, so I said I will work out a number and let the DA know. He said that they could do it for me, but if I want to try, it was okay, knowing that I would still owe them a fee if I collected. The DA had contaced me again a few days later and I tried to negotiate a payment, to no avail. The DA also told me that the CA never contacted them. After that, I sent my required 30 days notice to terminate the CA contract, and planned to take the DA to court. The CA is now sending threatening emails that if I ever collect anything from the DA ever in the future, I still owe them a fee. Can they do that?
