In Ohio, a debt collector can add interest and fees to a debt if the original agreement or contract allows for it. Additionally, state laws may permit reasonable fees associated with the collection process. However, any additional charges must be disclosed to the debtor, and the total amount owed must comply with state regulations regarding interest rates and fees. It's important for debtors to review their contracts and consult legal advice if they believe fees are being improperly applied.

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.

Can a debt collector charge you more than your original debt in Texas?

Only if interest is provided for in the instrument creating the debt. If the creditor tries to charge interest to which a debtor did not agree, then that constitutes usury and can, in some instances, wipe out the debt altogether. In some states, the creditor may be entitled to collection costs. ==Additional Information== If the debt collector is collecting on a money judgment rendered by a court post judgment interest accrues and can considerably increase the amount of the debt.
