Be careful with that defense, Missouri statutes allows for them to sue by hiring an attorney licensed in the state. Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 425 Debt Adjusters and Collection Agencies Section 425.300 August 28, 2003 Real party in interest on assignment of claim for billing, collection, bringing suit, attorney required to appear in court--court may sever actions.
425.300. Collection agencies may take assignment of claims in their own name as real parties in interest for the purpose of billing and collection and bringing suit in their own and the claimant's names thereon, provided that no suit authorized by this section may be instituted on behalf of a collection agency in any court unless the collection agency appears by a duly authorized and licensed attorney at law. Upon good cause being shown, a court may sever any actions brought under this section.
(L. 1992 S.B. 688 § 5)
