Summary of Collection Laws

The National List of Attorneys compiles an exclusive list of collection laws by state on an annual basis. We work with one law firm in each state to gather the information.

It includes the following information by state:

• the interest rate in each state for legal and judgments
• the statute of limitations for open accounts, written contracts, domestic and foreign judgments
• bad check laws
• general garnishment exemptions
• collection agency bond and license information

Federal Bankruptcy Court Information

This is a state-by-state compilation of Federal Bankruptcy Court contact information. In states where applicable, it also provides a county listing and a corresponding number that shows which court house to file in. The National List verifies the information annually by checking each court’s website or by making calls when information isn’t available online.

As your information provider for the debt collection industry, we encourage you to take advantage of these free resources.
