There is no federal statute that I know of that limits the amount of times a debt can be assigned.  A FL attorney could tell you if there is such a state law, but as @willingtocopestated, I doubt one exists.

What's more important or that i believe is more important is the purchasing agreement between each party that buys the debt. The more times a debt is sold the harder it is to prove that they have standing to collect the debt. Take a look at unifunds agreement at the link below.

So could this be presented as evidence to the CRA for removal? All I know is every time I dispute, they resell the debt. Some as many as six times. If there was a law or ruling I could use those for removal.

No.  It cannot be used to force the CRAs to remove the credit report entry.  Credit reporting agencies do not require proof of ownership in order to report information. All that is required is that the information is accurate.

That has no effect on credit reporting.  If a consumer disputes derogatory information on his CR, he bears the burden of proving the information is either incorrect or that the furnisher does not have the authority to report.  Past purchasing agreements, especially ones that have nothing to do with the consumer’s account, have no effect on reporting.
