Debt collectors will force a debtor into bankruptcy.

In reality, it would not make much sense for a debt collector to make a debtor go bankrupt. Bankruptcy usually means that the financial obligations of the debtor are nullified. This often results in the full debt not being paid.  However, if a debtor sees bankruptcy as a viable solution to its financial problems, it will file without thinking twice!

Economic failure means good business for debt collectors.

During a recession it may be true that more accounts will go into delinquency, thus more accounts will be placed under a collection agency. This also means that fewer bills are likely to get paid. Furthermore, this increase in business is only temporary, as a prolonged recession will ultimately result in fewer accounts being placed with a collection agency. Here at CRI, we like a healthy economy more than anyone.

Debt collectors are cut from an odd cloth.

Here at the office, we are all just regular people, we do share some skills in common though. We are goal-orientated, problem-solving, motivated, and helpful!
