I asked the collection agency if I could pay the debt off directly. They said yes and that the original co would let them know I was paid in full. I asked the original debtor (medical office) if I could pay off my debt. They said no. They said they called the collection agency and were told I had to pay the collection agency and could not pay them directly. It seems no one wants my money, but my credit is plummeting. Please advise. I have a debt that has been turned over to a collection agency. I asked the collection agency if I could pay the debt off directly.
