Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

collection agency harrassment
I have not been taken to court so there is no judgement against me. Is it legal to get my bank account number over the phone by this collector? He told me I had to give it to him and I did. The hospital bill was about $3,000 and I now owe $1,777.He took money out of my bank account.Is he allowed to do this without a written statement or signature? I don't know what to do. I have been trying to the pay the bill but am still getting threating phone calls. This hospital visit took place in another state which I do not live in. He is calling me at work and leaves messages on my cell phone. What can I do about the phone calls. This is very upsetting and disturbing. I can't afford the amount of money he took from me. Can I pay what I can afford to pay? I have no money in the bank at the moment. Thank You.

Re: collection agency harrassment

If he simply took an electronic withdrawal from your account without your approval, that is illegal.
