You would have to look at the terms of your orignal lender, and the regulations of your state. If they both allow interest to be charged by the CA, then yes, they can add fees.

Contracts that lend money or extend credit provide for the lendor to charge interest for the use of their money.

They will, in order to make the value of their investment more attractive should the consumer become delinquent and they might sell the debt, include in the original agreement that heirs to the debt can continue to assess interest. A debt collector can be both a party collecting on a debt incurrred with another, and the current owner of the debt.

If they have purchased the debt, the terms of the contract with the OC can continue if clearly authorized in that contract.

FDCPA 808(1) stipulates that a debt collector cannot attempt to collect any amount that is either not specifically authorized in the agreement with the consumer creating the debt, or otherwise authorized to debt collectors under the laws of your jurisdiction.

Scour your original account agrrement for authorization of continued interest, fees, etc.
