Acquisition of Location Information


Any collection agency communicating with any person other than the debtor for the purpose of acquiring location information about the debtor shall:

(1)

Identify himself, state that he is confirming or correcting location information concerning the debtor, and, only if expressly requested, identify his employer;

(2)

Not state that such debtor owes any debt;

(3)

Not communicate with any such person more than once unless requested to do so by such person or unless the collection agency reasonably believes that the earlier response of such person is erroneous or incomplete and that such person now has correct or complete location information;

(4)

Not communicate by post card;

(5)

Not use any language or symbol on any envelope or in the contents of any communication effected by the mails or telegram that indicates that the collection agency is in the debt collection business or that the communication relates to the collection of a debt; and

(6)

After the collection agency knows the debtor is represented by an attorney with regard to the subject debt and has knowledge of, or can readily ascertain, such attorney’s name and address, not communicate with any person other than that attorney, unless the attorney fails to respond within a reasonable period of time to communication from the collection agency.
