A: It depends to whom you are making the payment. If you are paying the provider directly, the provider likely accepts credit cards. If however, you are trying to pay a 3rd party like a collection agency or a law firm and that agency or attorney has told you that they do not accept credit cards, then the answer is no. You can, however, take a cash advance on your credit card and pay the debt that way.
