When an account is listed with our agency, we will send a communication to inform you that a past due account in your name has been received. This notification is to provide you with critical information about the debt, how to contact our office, and to provide you information about your right to request further information or dispute the balance.
You have the wrong person!

Why does the agent ask for the last 4 digits of my Social Security number?
In the event you are being contacted or receiving notices for someone other than yourself, we ask that you contact us immediately so that we may remove the contact information from our system. This sometimes happens when people move without a forwarding address or intentionally use the wrong information when registering or obtaining credit. You will be asked some questions by our agent to verify the error and correct it.

Why does the agent ask for the last 4 digits of my Social Security number?
After you have received the first notification of a debt, our agents will call to discuss the debt and determine the best resolution. The agent will ask you to provide the last 4 digits of your social security number or the month and day of your birthday. We do this for your protection. We must verify that we are talking to you before releasing any information about who we are or why we are calling. This makes it appear to many consumers that we are trying to get their information or scam them. This step is required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act to protect your information.
This isn't the right balance!

If you are like most people, your mailbox is filled daily with a lot of unsolicited mail. For decades, a federal law called the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act required collection agencies to use U.S. Postal service to mail any form of notification to you. New regulations to be set forth by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have set standards for email and text communications. If you prefer to receive emails and/or text message notifications, the link below will take you to the permission form we need to establish these types of communications. These notifications may include payment receipts, post dated check payment reminders, payment arrangement reminders, requested follow up information, notification of a new account being listed, and any other communications with you.
