What is a collection agency?

A collection agency is a company hired by lenders or creditors to recover funds that are past due or in default. These agencies contact debtors by phone, mail, or email to request payment and may negotiate payment plans or settlements. If unsuccessful, they can report the delinquent debt to credit bureaus, potentially affecting the debtor's credit score. Collection agencies must follow laws such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to ensure ethical and legal practices.

While both roles focus on debt collection, agencies operate as organizations, whereas debt collectors are individuals involved in the process.
