Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Can a debt collection company have your license suspended if debt is not paid?My wife was involved in an accident Dec 2011. She rear ended someone. She had minimum required by FL

Yesterday she gets a call from a collection agency stating that the other party's insurance denied the claim for Bodily Injury and since

we did not have Bodily injury on our insurance we were responsible for $3000. They also said that if it is not paid

then her licensed will be suspended.

A debt collection company has no ability to suspend your license, only the DMV and the courts have that power. You should contact an attorney since you may be the victim of collection harassment. If you do have a case for collection harassment, there will be no fees for representation. Additionally, your insurance should have included injury since it is part of the minimum requirement in Florida.
