Is it legal to reissue a warrant after you sell it to a collection agency?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
In general, once a creditor sells a debt to a collection agency, they transfer the rights and ownership of that debt to the agency. As a result, the collection agency becomes responsible for attempting to collect the debt. In most cases, the original creditor no longer has the authority to reissue a warrant or take direct legal action against you for that specific debt.
However, laws regarding debt collection can vary by jurisdiction, and there may be specific rules or regulations that could impact the ability to reissue a warrant in certain circumstances. It's essential to consult with a legal professional who is knowledgeable about debt collection laws in your area if you have concerns or questions about your specific situation. They can provide guidance tailored to your circumstances and the applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
