2. How Collection Services Work

Collection services work very similarly to the process of repossession, as both sides involve a lender and a debtor. The debtor is any person, or group of persons, that borrows money from another person or persons, also known as a lender. Either side can be one person, a group of people, or a business. Typically, the debtor and lender work together to create a payment plan to ensure that the debt is repaid in a timely manner. Once the debtor misses payments, or does not pay the debt at all, the lender will attempt to contact them through the mail or over the telephone regarding their account. After a certain period of time, the lender will turn the case over to a collection services agency that will act on the behalf of the lender. The agency will then attempt to contact the debtor in every way possible to recoup the lender's money. Most agencies are paid according to the amount of money they are able to get from the debtor, and most attempt to find the whole amount. If the money is not recovered, the agency may also hire a collection lawyer and file suit against the debtor for the amount owed. If the court finds against the debtor, he or she can have their paycheck garnished, or liens placed against their property.

3. What are Collection Services?

There are three main types of collection services used in the United States: collection calls, collection accounts, and collection lawsuits. With collection calls, an agency will repeatedly call the debtor in an attempt to set up a payment plan, or find alternative means to ensure that the debt is paid. According to federal law, the agency is only allowed to call three times in one day, though many companies have been known to overlook this law. There is no law on the day when the agency can call, or limits to how long they can continue to call. The second type of service is collection accounts. In this scenario, the debtor will work out a payment plan with the lender. The plan will be noted on their credit report, along with their willingness to make payments and information once the debt has been paid. The third type of collection service, a collection lawsuit, is by far the most complicated. The lender will hire a collections lawyer to file a suit against the debtor. The debtor will then be served via certified mail of the suit, and have the ability to find their own legal counsel. The debtor will also be served with a summons to appear in court. If the debtor does not respond within a certain period of time, the court typically awards a default judgment for the lender. The lender can then lose their personal possessions, which will be sold at an auction to repay the loan. They may also have their paycheck garnished until the debt is paid.

4. Examples of Bad Debt Collections

As with any process, there are examples of good debt collections, and bad debt collections. There was once a time where bad debt collections far outweighed the good, but that was in the past. Those were the days where debtors borrowed from loan sharks, bookies, and other unsavory types in their local neighborhoods, including individuals with ties or connections to organized crime and the mafia. The debtor would be given a short period of time to repay their loan, or face serious threats to their well being. It was entirely possible that someone in their family would be injured, or they would be injured themselves. The enforcers attempting to collect the debt wanted to show they were serious, and did so by causing bodily harm. Today, enforcers such as these are few and far between, though cases occasionally appear in the larger cities. The more popular form of bad debt collection today relates to third party agencies that disobey the federal laws put in place to protect the debtor. They call at all hours of the day, including in the middle of the night, and also make frequent calls to the debtor's employer. They may also contact the debtor in person, by waiting outside their home. In some cases, they are verbally abusive to the debtor, calling them rude names and cursing over the telephone. Bad debt collectors are willing to do anything to recover a debt.
