What does a debt collector do?

Answer 1

Collect money from people who don't pay what they owe.You have a right in the fair debt collection practices act for a fair debt collection even if you owe a debt. You can request the debt collectors for a validation of debt. If they do validate you can further request to stop calling by sending a cease and desist letter to them.

Answer 2

The debtor has no legal obligation to speak with a collection agent. If the debtor chooses he or she can remit a "cease and desist" letter to the collection agency asking them to stop contacting them in any manner.

Once the collector receives the written notice they cannot continue collection practices and may only contact the debtor to notify them that they are being sued for the debt.

Please note: The collection agency can sell the debt to another collector who would not be legally bound by the cease and desist correspondence.

The borrower is a person or persons who take a loan for personal or business needs. Sometimes the borrower may delay the payment due to some personal issues or may be due to the intention of absconding with the loan amount.
