Every time you hear someone say “May I have one of your business cards?" you should get excited. I know I do. That’s because I LOVE my cards. I spent thousands of dollars on printing, several hours on designing and went through 10 different layouts until I got them right.And it was all worth it.A business card is an entrepreneur’s best friend, his most valuable marketing tool and an essential element to becoming UNFORGETTABLE. Unfortunately, too many people have business cards that simply blend into the multitude of cookie cutter crap. And that’s a shame, because a business card is more powerful than you think.Of course, it’s impossible to know this u

“I have about 15yrs in the collection industry. I have collected on car notes, medical accounts.. I'm currently working as a contractor inside a medical facility in North Carolina. The company I work for is based out of South Carolina. I just recently started moon lighting call self-pay accounts for this medical firm after hours. The company that I'm employed in South Carolina is paying me as a independent contractor instead of my regular salary for hours I work during the day. My question is since I'm doing 1st party collections, and I wanted to solicit business calling on self-pay accounts for medical firms in the area could I work for them as a independent contractor instead of referring to myself a collection agency, and not go through all the licensing for the state of North Carolina. Also how can I market myself also to work as a contractor instead of representing myself as a collection agency?”
I thought this was very interesting, and brought it to the attention of the members of my Credit & Collections Association because I knew there would be a lot of interest in this topic. In my opinion this person may need to have some type of licensing because most business owners are savvy enough to know that they should check this persons credentials, licensing and/or bonding otherwise they could be held liable for anything that may go wrong or not be legal. General consensus is that if the state in which this person is collecting requires a license, they should get one. Even if they do not want to be considered a collection agency, they may need licensing or bonding to be a contractor of any kind. A way to get around this would be to work as a sub-contractor for a company who already has this licensing in place and thereby use their licensing. This may not work with the above question since they sound like they want to be an independent contractor in a debt collection capacity for medical accounts. Their customers would not have collection licenses since they are medical facilities.

It happens to all of us: the pressing personal problem or concern that takes center stage, leaving little energy or attention for anything else, including work. Examples are a family member’s prolonged illness or death, facing the prospect or reality of divorce. Although most of us are practiced at putting on the “game face” and getting on with work, events of this magnitude may make it difficult or impossible to manage that. Each person is, of course, different, and no solution will fit everyone. Here, however, are some useful coping mechanisms.Support.

We should note this person works for this medical company and debt collection is part of their job, so there is no license needed. They work in-house and are paid by the medical company. However, once you begin working on your own for any business a permit or license may be required. You would now be soliciting accounts to collect on as an independent contractor for other medical facilities that do not employ you. This might make you an Accounts Receivable Outsourcing firm or a collection agency, depending on your contract, duties and services. Something to remember is that if you are collecting as an independent contractor for a business other than your own, you are considered a 3rd party collector and would need to research and meet the requirements mandated by the state you are working in. The reality is, why open yourself up to a potential lawsuit? Check out the Fair Debt Collectioin Practices Act guidelines section 807. This covers False of misleading representations: A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section: (11) The failure to disclose in the initial written communication with the consumer and, in addition, if the initial communication with the consumer is oral, in that initial oral communication, that the debt collector is attemting to collect a debt and that any information obtained will be used for that purpose, and the failure to disclose in subsequent communications that the communication is from a debt collector, except that this paragraph shall not apply to a formal pleading made in connection w
