What defines a collection agency?

Individuals handling their personal debts
Companies who collect debts on behalf of others
Only businesses registered with the state
Organizations that only perform financial audits

The correct answer is: Companies who collect debts on behalf of others

A collection agency is defined as a company that collects debts on behalf of others. This typically involves businesses hiring these agencies to recover funds owed to them by individuals or other entities. The primary role of a collection agency is to act as an intermediary between creditors and debtors, utilizing specific legal methods and communication strategies to collect outstanding debts. In contrast, individuals handling their personal debts do not fall under the definition of a collection agency, as they are managing their own financial obligations rather than working on behalf of others. Likewise, while state registration can be an important regulatory requirement for collection agencies, it does not solely define them; not all collection companies are required to be registered in the same way. Finally, organizations that exclusively perform financial audits do not meet the criteria for collection agencies, as their function revolves around examining financial records rather than pursuing debt collection activities.
