How to Apply
the Debt Collection Rule FAQ does not require debt collectors to communicate electronically with consumers. It does provide guidance on how to do so and how to provide opt-out notices for electronic communications. It also provides definitions of what constitutes an inconvenient or unusual time or place. Americollect works with healthcare providers to improve their medical collections and does not offer loan applications over the phone. The CFPB offers several points to help properly communicate with patients if collectors do choose to use electronic means. There are also provisions which allow consumers to opt-out of electronic communications, and debt collectors must honor a consumer’s opt-out request if it does not conform to instructions.
