No, a debt collection company purchases a debt from a creditor. They can try to collect on that debt but may not charge interest on it as they have no contract with you outlining interest charges. If a company is attempting to do that, cite the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a federal law, and complain to the Federal trade Commission, which oversees debt collection practices.

Can the original creditor charge the debtor for the collection agency fee?
Read the terms of your debt/loan, credit card or whatever. ou'll likely find that it even states that, as has been held by virtually all courts...You will be entirely responsible for any costs they incur to enforce and collect the full amount of the debt, interest, penalties, legal fees, etc. too. So a small debt for something you bought can grow very large, very quickly. Of course, they may just sell the right to collect to a third party, but the result is basically the same, the costs of collection are borne by you.
