Collection agencies “subbing” out phone calls to India

You knew it had to happen – Collection Agencies are subbing out to India. So now it’s a call from India you are going to get when a collection agency or JDB is going to call you. So if they are violating the FDCPA – who are you going to sue? You can’t sue an Indian company – is the collection agency going to be held liable? Very disturbing.

The other thing about this article I found disturbing was they are going to start asking people for their tax rebates as part of payments. Of Course! Why not? I say just say “No”.

    Those JDBs who hire Indian firms can definitely get sued though. There is no way a judge would let them skirt the FDCPA because folks hire people out of the country. ESPECIALLY if you subpoena proof that the JDB hired them in the first place.

    I will definitely get litigious if I ever get one of those firms calling me. It would be such an easy thing to rack up violations.

    Yeah – unless the firm is acting as the collection agency – does anyone know if this is happening?
