When a debt is purchased by a Debt Collection Agency, do they become the creditor ?

When a debt is sold to a Debt Collection Agency (via a deed of assignment), does the Debt Collector becomes the Creditor for the purposes of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and are the rights and duties assigned? Please state court case, legislation in your answer.

When a debt is purchased by a Debt Collection Agency, do they become the creditor ?
after being a general adviser, on debt amongst other things, i can say that the answer is definatley yes - the debt collection agency who the debt is sold on to then become the creditor.
