How to Spot a Fake Debt Collector in Michigan

Are your customers claiming that scammers are calling them demanding debt payment?

Did you hire a professional debt collector in Michigan?

If you’re not sure you hired a professional debt collector who honors the Michigan Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, here’s what you need to know in order to spot a scammer. Unethical or illegal debt collectors will often try to collect by:

1.    Using threats
2.    Demanding payment today
3.    Refusing many forms of payment
4.    Failing to identify themselves
5.    Referring the debtor to the creditor and not to an agency
6.    Answering the phone directly when a debtor calls back
7.    Dealing with the same individual over and over again

If your clients are unsure whether the collection call they received is legitimate, the above tips should help you guide them. In addition, you should think about whether the collection service you hired is experienced enough to serve your needs.
