By Federal law he can, although several states do limit the means of collecting a debt. Here's the hitch, although the debt is not secured by physical property, that you acknowledge the debt indicates it is probably a contract account, a signature loan perhaps. Although there is no property securing the debt, that is nothing that can be repossessed to recover what is owed, a signature secures a signature loan. the contract secures a credit card or time payment account. All debts that are acknowledged by both parties are secured under law, and are recoverable in one manner or another. An entire industry has risen out of the specialization of debt recovery, and I can assure you that there are competant collections agencies out there who will find a way to recover any debt they contract to collect.
