Also, I've read that any attorney that purchases a debt for collection purposes is purchasing evidence which is a misdemeanor. I saw a state regulation on this. Is there a federal regulation?

Also, could selling the debt to an attorney constitute selling evidence? Could that be a crime too?

Could we put the current debt collector on notice that if they sell this account they could be involved in a crime?

My mind is whirring with ideas....
