Collecting souls doesn't mean kiling people. The most common form is that the Ankou is the first dead buried in a churchyard every year (or period of years) and it's their job to escort the souls of the dead. Collecting them to move them on, not as some kind of payment. They aren't malevolent figures, murderous side effects make no sense. And since it only gathers the souls of those buried in the grave/churchyeard it's sworn to tend, it also makes no sense for it to be able to enter homes. It doesn't go after people. I take my mythology very seriously, and the Ankou was a legend I researched quite a bit a few years ago.
