No, the collection company is lying to you.
Clamorous, clownish collectors culpable for committing threatenings threats that are false can be compelled to pay sanctions and then some. There may be a viable claim in this instance, so consult with your local bankruptcy and (protection from creditors) attorney.
This answer (by San Diego bankruptcy attorney, Asaph Abrams) doesn�t address all facts & implications of the question; it�s general info, not legal advice to be relied upon and exceptions may apply. It creates no attorney-client relationship; it may be pertinent only to CA and/or its Southern District Bankruptcy Court in San Diego. It�s independent of other answers. It may be time sensitive, as in past the �Use by� date: laws and case law change. Hire a bankruptcy lawyer before acting or refraining from bankruptcy or other legal action.
