Is the original creditor required to notify you of debt before using a third party collection agency?
Yes, the original creditor should have notified you that you had an outstanding balance. The creditor also notifies you that they will be submitting your debt to a "third party" collection agency. This is usually the final notice before your debt is sold. If you never received a notice, it is not required that the original creditor send you notice, all it is is common curiosity that they do.
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. At that time, the original creditor will charge off the balance from their accounts receivable and turn the account over to a collection agency. 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 you be sued by a collection agency for fees if you settled the debt with the original creditor?
Yes. If a debt is defaulted on, there are several penalties that can be assesed by the collector. They can sue andmaybe received a judgment. Collecting on any judgment, however, is a different matter. Proof of payment to the original creditor would provide an affirmative defense to a lawsuit from a collection agency.

Can a creditor and the collection agency who purchases your account from the creditor both report the same debt in separate instances to a CRA?
Yes, they can and it's customary for them to. The original account should have all the history, including late payments you made and the status (collection or charge off), the DLA, and date the account was opened. It should not be showing a balance due once sold or assigned to a collection agency. It may have a statement about being sold or transferred, but not always. The CA account should have the date they received, or were assigned, the account and the current balance (often with interest added in). The DLA should not have changed.
If you have two debtors seeking garnishments are they both allowed 25 percent of your pay or a total of 25 percent combined?
Judgment creditor garnishments must run consecutively. The creditor who received and executed the judgment first will be paid before another creditor can garnish the debtor's wages. If federal garnishment is used rather than state then it can be a maximum of 25% of disposable income with the first weekly based $154.50 exempt from garnishment. Please be advised, if there is child support deduction order in place it takes priority, with the primary judgment creditor's garnishment still valid but secondary in collection.
