Do CA's typically have a history of one debt's life from OC to CA to subsequent CAs? Is that part of the paperwork they get (assuming they get any at all) when they take it on? Do you think it would be unreasonable to ask for that in an interrogatory?
Well, a CA may not... Is the OC a party in the suit? If yes, the OC would technically be able to provide the start of the domino trail. ON XX/XX/XXXX we assigned/sold the account to XYZ Co. Then you would probably have to follow the paper-trail and get the trail that way by getting a statement from XYZ Co that they assigned/sold the account to ZYX Co, etc.
"Do you think it would be unreasonable to ask for that in an interrogatory? " -TOTALLY REASONABLE, almost REQUIRED -BUT remember, the power of the plaintiff (by way of the court) to SUBPEONA documents. -YOU CAN SUBPEONA DOCUMENTS FROM ANYONE, IT DOES NOT have to be the person you are suing. -Sometimes 3rd party "non-defendents" have the most powerful evidence.
