Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York
Collection Agency Wants Automatic Payments Only
My credit card account has been
turned over to collections. I am
trying to work out a payment plan
with them, but they are telling me
that the only way it will happen is
through monthly automatic
withdrawals from my bank account. I
am uncomfortable giving them this
personal information, seeing as they
have a reputation for getting bank
accounts frozen for unauthorized
withdrawals. How can I negotiate
with them so they can take my
payments by mail, through money
order?

Why don't you open a separate bank account just for withdrawal for the payment plan?
