I perform consumer collection management of past due accounts, aged receivables, and down the list all the way to legal collections. While performing collections for a finance company that specializes in creditor's rights during bankruptcy proceedings my job entailed being attentive to detail as I'd pursue debtors to other states. I don't believe in harassing NEVER had to use any of those cowardly tactics. I aim at a win-win objective where customer & client mutually gain.
Your best bet is to review the laws of each state. Whether the debt collector has his own legal dept they still have to present themselves at court and 'if' they are awarded a judgment than they can execute. Not many collection agencies would consider litigation unless they're pursuing a substantial balance as they still have to account for fees & cost upfront, which, later they will add it on to the balance.
I offer a bit of advice as I'm against abusive collectors that are quick to judge and don't offer options whether they're retained by the client. My advice to you is don't evade the problem and face it technology will rewrite the laws and everything will be based on credit from obtaining employment to renting. If I offer reasonable negotiations by scheduled payments, discounts and even hardship programs I'm sure other collectors do, too. Plus, there are laws that show you steps on how the collector is to behave when contacting you. Give it a try and best of luck.

The rule is the debt collector is bound by the laws of the state the collection action is being taken in. If the debt collector is not licensed or authorized in that state, it cannot legally act to collect the debt. Check with your state agency that licenses debt collectors. The debt collector can retain a local attorney to collect the debt, of course, and that would be under Michigan Law.
