No they cannot. If the collection agency is really threatening to put you in jail, you should record the phone calls and hire an attorney to sue the collection agency for violating the FDCA. Recently, a woman was awarded more than $1,000,000 in punitive damages against a collection agency for making false threats. You can call or email my office for additional information.
