can a company that put you in collection charge you each month because im in collection but the amount i have to pay back keeps going up

I would guess that the fees, %, etc. are making the bill go higher every month. What Collection Agency are you dealing with? And...what's the debt?

Hi shawalker,

The collection agency can add the fees, and interest charges onto the existing balance. However, the original creditor cannot. They can only report the account as closed.

Thanks,

Aaron

It's almost like a 'double-whammy' because they BOTH (the OC and CA) can report this debt to the CB's. Makes your credit score go even lower.
