Collection Agency Book Description - A complete, step-by-step guide to building a successful debt collection business from home.

From the Publisher - According to a recent article in Redbook, a study by the U.S. Small Business Administration found that home-based companies now comprise 52 percent of all U.S. businesses, and they're not always run by part-timers who are looking to make pocket change: The National Survey of Entrepreneurial Parents revealed that 22 percent of women who run a full-time business from home pull in $50,000 or more a year, and 39 percent earn $30,000 or more.  How To Start A Home-Based Collection Agency is a critical guide for entrepreneurs seeking a life working at home and a career in the collection business.

Collection Agency Book Description - Entrepreneur’s experts show you how to boost your bottom line with credit and collections

Proper credit and collections policies are essential for a small business. They allow a business to make more money--even without making more sales--by more efficiently collecting from customers. Ultimate Credit and Collection Handbook teaches you how to create or improve a credit department, maintain a credit policy, and avoid bad debt. It includes up-to-date information on relevant state and federal laws.

Every year, millions of people are the target of collection agency harassment. People react in a variety of ways: they screen their phone calls, are afraid to open their mail. Some consumers run to a bankruptcy lawyer simply to get away from the harassment. Few people understand their rights under the law, and even fewer know they can actually sue the debt collector for abusive and deceptive behavior.

In fact, the collection industry is a multi-billion dollar industry: collectors are trained in the art of deception. When a consumer loses a job, goes through a divorce, or has an illness, they are already in a state of depression. The collector knows this, and knows how to prey on you to get you to pay.

Collectors and their lawyers meet at conventions. The lawyers tell the collectors which cases have been won and which have been lost; which tactics have been deemed legal and which have been deemed illegal. Imagine: they are ganging up on you. They are trained; you should be, too.

This book is written by an attorney who has spent the better part of a decade suing debt collectors. Learn the secrets they don't want you to know. Learn how courts have interpreted the law.

This book comes with case citations, and even sample complaints.

You can actually sue the debt collector, and win money damages, including 100% of your costs and attorney fees.
