How do I deal with Brown & Joseph?


If you're a business owner, you may be wondering how to deal with a debt collection company. Here are a few tips:

1. Know your rights. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects businesses from unfair or deceptive practices by debt collectors.


2. Communicate with the collector. Once you have been contacted by a debt collection agency, you should communicate with them to try and resolve the debt. If you are a business owner, this may affect your credit limits with other suppliers / companies.


3. Get it in writing. A debt collector is required to send you a letter detailing the outstanding debt they are pursuing you for. This should include information about the original creditor and how much is owed. You also have the right to request a verification letter from the debtor. Do not provide personal or confidential information over the phone.


4. Negotiate. After you verified the allege debt, you may be able to negotiate with the debt collector to set up a payment plan or have the debt forgiven altogether if there is a dispute as to the service/ goods.

5. Seek legal help. You should seek legal help from a lawyer if you are being harassed by a debt collector, you are not being treated fairly, you don't have the ability to pay, or you dispute the charges.
