    To the best of my knowledge, you can't. They are not required to disclose this.

    You could sue for the info, I suppose, but to what end?

    Unfortunately most of the agreements between the original creditor and the JDB are "trade secrets". You may be able to subpoena it in a lawsuit but expect a huge fight to suppress the information from either the JDB or the original creditor's counsel.

    Anticipate between 1 and 10 cents on the dollar. Some judgements go for 12 to 15 cents on the dollar but it is very rare.

    I'm not sure why that would matter to you, not like the collection agency is going to settle it for anywhere near what they bought it for. How do you know it was sold? There could be a charge off and then sent to a first placement agency on contingency.
