list of collection agencies

Exactly who is trying to get me to pay up? The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created in the 1970s and provided a good amount of protections for consumers. There are strict rules and regulations that a debt collector must abide by, and if any of these regulations are violated, there’s a good chance that you could sue that agency. But what about that friend of yours who owes you five dollars? Do you have to grant them thirty days to refute the claim? Clearly, you do not.
