admin Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 They can take you to court if the debt was officially assigned to them by the creditor (meaning they have an agreement with the original creditor.) In this case, they would be acting as agents of the creditor. How can you find out? I would go to the court date and make them prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
