I'm getting conflicting advice from other boards in regard to out-of-state debt collectors. They say that only if their in Florida do they need to have a license to collect debt. Below is section from a website that says otherwise: LICENSING BY DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION: PART VII (559.79 and 559.791) Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act Florida collection agency law provides coverage for both commercial collection practices and consumer collection practices. The Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act generally adopts the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and contains provisions which requires the registration of in state and out of state consumer collection agencies, a 30-days written notice to consumers of the assignment of consumer debt for collection purposes, and a state division to deal with consumer complaints. The act also provides administrative remedies, and civil and criminal penalties against violators. (559.55) From the site: http://proagency.tripod.com/skp-fl-cl.html Can clear things up for me? Thanks.
