Can you sue collection agency?
Yes, you may be able to sue a debt collector or a debt collection agency if it engages in abusive, deceptive, or unfair behavior. A debt collector is generally someone who buys a debt from a creditor who, for whatever reason, has been unable to collect from a consumer.
Does collection affect credit score?
The older a collection is, the less it hurts you. Collections remain on your credit report for seven years past the date of delinquency. In the newest versions of FICO® and VantageScore®, paid collections don't hurt your score but unpaid collections do.
