Debt Collectors

A Single Sample To Represent The Debt Collector Market

In 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) penalized two of the countries largest debt buyers, Portfolio Recovery Associates & Encore Capital Group, for tens of millions of dollars for predatory and misleading debt collection practices.

Between the two companies, they purchased over $200,000,000 in bad debt for pennies on the dollar before beginning a systematic process to deceive and threaten consumers into paying.

Don't Pay. But Don't Ignore!

If debt collectors contact you, politely hang up. Don't say or agree to anything, let alone pay them until you research all the facts... and the law.
