Can a collection agency collect a bad debt that you cannot pay because you are jobless and only have social security if it goes into a joint account with some who is not a relative?
Hi Guest,
The collection agency cannot garnish your social security check. However, if you deposit it in a savings account, then the collection agency can garnish that account. As you're jobless, you should let the collection agency know about it and check out if they can forgive the dues.
