Why Los Angeles/California Needs a Different Playbook
-
Licensed in California. We operate under the state’s debt-collection licensing regime.
-
Rosenthal Act standards. Scripts, cadence, and notices built for California consumer protections.
-
Statute of limitations. Typically 4 years (written) and 2 years (oral). We filter by age before any legal step.
-
Small Claims options. Individuals can generally file up to $12,500; most businesses up to $6,250—useful for smaller balances.
-
Judgment interest. Civil money judgments usually accrue at 10%/year (some exceptions).
-
Debt-buyer rules. For purchased consumer accounts, documentation is verified before litigation or credit reporting.
Net effect: fewer complaints, cleaner audits, and recoveries that hold up.
