A different reason to open a BB

Sadly, my DD has a past due student loan that has been sent to collections.

She and I participated in a conference call to discuss. She has to submit her current financial status and her budget for an adjusted payment plan.

The lady we spoke with suggested she open a BB account to have the payment drafted. Strangely, she also told my DD not to involve me (I said nothing when I heard her).

Anyway, my DD's limited income will be a waste of time for her to load small deposits on the card weekly so I will load via VR for her after she opens the BB account. So I will MS as a tool for the miles back. I will insist she pay me back by putting in a savings account.

Is there any reason for an arching brow because this lady specifically suggested doing payment method via BB this way? Risk? She is a debt collector, at the end of the day.

Oh, and one more thing. I would appreciate no snarky comments about my DD, please. FTR, she works almost every weekend in addition to make a bit of extra cash. It is probably this extra money that she will put toward her payment plan. And, no comments about debt, also. I don't throw stones, please don't hurl them at me, either.
