If the debt was sold to a collection agency and the original creditor accepted payment AFTER the debt was sold, the money does not belong to them. If, however, you paid the debt and it was mistakingly sol after that payment, the collection agency can't try to collect. If you have proof of payment, forward it to the collection agency and deman in writing that they cease trying to collect this debt.
a collection agency can collect where ever they need to. they purchased the debt from the timeshare company (to use your example). what i don't know is if they can impact your credit if for instance you were in the US and the collection agency or timeshare company is out of the country.
