If I contacted the original creditor, would they tell me the amount they received when selling my debt to the collection agency? Thank you for your assistance.
Not likely Not likely. I've heard of people who tried to force that information out of them and their debt collectors in court but I've never heard of anyone successfully getting that information out of them.
That's about the only way that it would happen. In discovery, if the sellers agreement is a legitimate part of the case.
