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.
