Michigan Collection Company Establishes Standard of Ethics for Debt Collectors
Michimich.com/10285064

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. - Michimich -- Did you know that when you work with a collector, your business takes responsibility for their behavior?

Is it hard to find an ethical debt collector?

When you hire collection professionals and include them on your collection team, you assume responsibility for the professionals to be, indeed, professional and ethical in their services. But at the same time, you give up some of your control—perhaps a lot of your control—over the collection.

Beyond the possibility that your collector's misdeeds may frustrate your ability to collect a debt or trigger a counterclaim, their actions are being taken in your name. The type of service you use to collect your debts will reflect on your business, and every time you place a claim with an outside collector, you put the reputation of your company on the line.

But it's actually not hard to find an ethical, responsible debt collector. Consumer laws such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act arose from the misconduct of a few irresponsible, abusive debt collectors, not the majority. These consumer laws have cut back abuses. Scrupulously following these laws, even when they don't apply, can help ensure professionalism and avoid misunderstandings and other problems.

Unless you negotiate specific file handling procedures, your collections professional operates in accordance with their own standards. When you desire a more restrictive standard of conduct, don't hesitate to instruct your collector to follow your standards. For example, you may limit the number of demands that they make to a debtor before filing collection litigation.

You should be comfortable that your outside collectors are well-trained and professional, and will handle your customers (debtors) with dignity. None of those hallmarks of professionalism are incompatible with aggressive debt collection. The bottom line is that you want your collection professionals to follow a standard of ethics that's as similar as possible to the ethical standards of your own business.
