Open evidence worksheetsSix items to verify
Who is covered
Determine whether the state rule covers third-party collectors, debt buyers, collection attorneys, original creditors, or another category.
Licensing and registration
Check whether the collector must hold a current state or local license and which agency verifies status.
Time limits
Verify the applicable limitation period and any separate court response deadline. Do not assume a payment or promise has no legal effect.
Court and exemptions
Use the official court for forms, filing rules, service requirements, garnishment exemptions, and self-help information.
Communications and recording
Verify call-recording consent, workplace contact, frequency, language-access, and other state-specific communication rules.
Complaints and enforcement
Identify the attorney general, financial regulator, licensing authority, and any official complaint intake path.
