    For example:

    O/C CO balance = $1000.00

    DB buys for $25.

    Does that mean that the CO balance is now $975????

    If so, is it a violation for the DB/CA to try and collect on balance prior to buying debt since the OC received payment?

    No - a CA buying a debt at a discounted rate to attempt to collect is a business decision.

    Their goal is profit, not unlike any other business out there.
