A sortof generic credit reporting question...

[sbernard]

A bank charged off an account some 16 months ago and sold/assigned it to a collection attorney. The bank is naturally, showing this chareoff on my CR's. Can the attorney now come along and show it again under their own company name at the same time?

Purchasing evidence is a felony.

I'm a little slow, I guess, but what do you mean by "purchasing evidence"?

If you read your post you say that, "...sold/assigned it to a collection attorney."

To sell evidence and then take into to court to try to get a judgement to collect on it is purchasing evidence. its the same as paying a person to testify against you that you have never seen or knew. this person is testifying to facts that are questionable but since they have been paid or bought by the attorney--that is a felony. Better yet that is tampering as well.
