    Default Can a Collection Agency Sell a Debt After Losing a Trial

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: IL


    I was sued by a Collection Agency and they lost in court. I checked my credit report and found out another Collection Agency bought the debt from them? Is this legal? Can two different companies sue you for the same debt twice??

    That would depend on why they lost and what the court papers say.

    They lost because they did not show (because they had no evidence) and I asked that the case be dismissed. I haven't seen the court papers, I would have to get it from they court. They don't give you anything after you win, the judge said they won't refile and then I left.
