The is YES they can, but!

They are not supposed to.

Unless you effectively complain and point out to the Credit Bureaus what the debt collector is doing, they will get away with it.

Additionally, the same debt "cannot" legitimately be reported with an "outstanding" balance more than once on your credit report.

For example, lets say that a debt has been bought and sold three different times.

The debt cannot be listed as due and owing by the original creditor and the three subsequent debt buyers.

You must remain ever vigilant in keeping your Credit Reports clean.

It is illegal for debt collectors to change the date of last activity in order to keep negative records on your credit report longer. The original debt that was charged off as well as all related collection records must be removed exactly 7 years after the date of last activity. The date of last activity is the charge-off date, which is the date that the debt became 6 months delinquent.

How the intensity of the radiation is related to photoelectric effect?

Within the limits of the actual collector (photovoltaic [aka: solar panel]) the more energy (radiation) the more current that is produced. So, there is a saturation point which you cannot surpass. Age of the collectors, type of collectors, et cetera have a lot to do with the output of the system. Newer systems are more efficent than older ones.

Where can I find rare quilts?

Quilts are assembled by two primary methods: piecing and applique. Knitting is not involved in quilt-making. Knitted/crocheted throws/afghans are not known to hold up well over the years and have not established a collectors' market. In the 1970, interest in old quilts peaked, pricing them out of reach of most collector's by the 1990s. There are collectors and dealers, most of whom do business in larger cities like NYC and Chicago. As a newer part of the USA, the western states and west coast has fewer examples. Search online for "antique quilts" and check out museum collections as well.
