Why original creditors sale accounts to a collection agency?
Original creditors sale their accounts to collection agencies when the account has been past due and they have not effectively collected.

When the collection agency collects the debt, a portion of the amount received is paid the the collection agency and the remainder is returned to the original creditor as profit.

Can debt collection agencies sue in North Carolina?
This is a misnomer. When an account is sent to debt collections, the collection agency does not typically own it. They are simply acting on the part of the lender or creditor. When judgment is sought on a bad debt, it is the lender who is suing. They are perhaps doing so through the collection agency and the lawyer they have under contract, but it is not the collection agency who is suing.
Who sent you to the collection agency?
I presume your question is "how did your debt wind-up at a collection agency". There are 2 methods: (1) the original creditor sold your account to an agency for a price that is a fraction of the outstanding balance on the account (so the collection agency now is your creditor legally), (2) the original creditor contracted with a collection agency to get you to make more payment on the debt than you have while interacting with the original creditor only. In either case, a collection agency is a company that makes a profit by getting debtors to make a payment of sufficiently greater amount (than they had been making to the original creditor) such that a greater return can be realized from this continued effort to collect the debt, and collection agencies usually are profitable companies. In my personal opinion, the first method (# 1 above) is used in the vast majority of delinquent debt collection situations. Any creditor organization of at least medium business size has enough staff to attempt to coax the debtor to make more payment, so there would be no reason to contract a collection agency to try again. That latter point being understood, collection agencies sometimes resell a debt account to another collection agency when they give-up on trying to get more payment from the debtor (and the account has not been settled).
How do you dispute items on your credit report?
1. Get a copy of your current credit report. (I have used www.freecreditreport.com which can provide all reports from all 3 credit agencies for around $40.) 2. Write up letters to each collection agency asking why each account was opened along with the account balance. 3. Get the letter certified, copied and send them to the collection agency. 4. (Read both of these steps) If the collection agency replies: you can "Ask For Forgiveness" from them and offer a different ammount than the full balance and barter, be sure that the letter of forgiveness stats that even though you did not pay the shown balance that they close the account and say it was paid in full. If after 30 days the collection agencies do not reply you can contact the collection reporting agencies in which the negative note was placed and provide them with the copied documents showing that 30 days has passed and the collection agency has not replied. The mark will be then be removed.
Can a debt be transferred from one debt collection agency to another if the original agency is unable to collect payment or if the creditor decides to switch agencies?
Of course it can unless there are provisions in your contract with a collecting agency which make it impossible.
