Halls of fame are usually created for exceptionally talented sport legends, musicians and actors. At the other end of the spectrum are banned debt collector. In the FTC’s hall of shame, they too, get special recognition.
One year ago, individuals and companies whose behavior was so egregious that courts have banned them from participating in the debt collection business, the FTC first issued a list these banned debt collectors. In February 2015, the FTC’s Hall of Shame contained only 36 inductees, at this moment there are more than 100.
During Operation Collection Protection, several recent inductees were recognized for their dishonorable deeds. The first coordinated federal-state enforcement initiative targeting deceptive and abusive debt collection practices. These inductees are:
- Broadway Global Master, Inc.
- K.I.P,
- LLC (Payday Loan Recovery Group)
- National check Registry
- Premier Debt Acquisitions, LLC
