Debt collectors provide a useful service to lenders and other creditors that want to recover all or part of money that is owed to them. At the same time, the law provides certain consumer protections to keep debt collectors from becoming too aggressive or abusive.

Debt collection agencies collect various delinquent debts?credit cards, medical, automobile loans, personal loans, business, student loans, and even unpaid utility and cell phone bills. For difficult-to-collect debts, some collection agencies also negotiate settlements with consumers for less than the amount owed.

Debt collectors are third-party companies that work on behalf of another company to collect debts. If a company works for the original creditor, the creditor pays the debt collector a percentage of the debt collected.

Receiving a collection letter can be considered the first step in the collection process that could lead to a lawsuit being filed against you to collect the debt. A collection agency from whom you have received a letter will typically turn the file over to an attorney if they are unable to acquire a payment.
