Enforcement actions against listed agencies: the count

By Kai Greenspan, Founding Editor · Last updated: August 14, 2026

Debt Collection Index carries 6 full enforcement records on listed collection agencies as of 2026-08-14, spanning 2011 to 2025, from4 regulators; 5 of the 6 carry a monetary penalty. Each record is built from the regulator's own published document, read in full and linked, and a record is a public fact about one proceeding, never a rating of a company.

What these counts are, and are not

These are counts of the full records published on this site's enforcement section, where each one states exactly what the regulator's document alleges, found, or records as admitted, in the document's own language, with a live link to the primary source. The counts say nothing about conduct: an agency can appear here and operate lawfully today, and an agency absent from this page has simply had no action carried as a full record here. Scope grows as new actions naming listed agencies are verified; additions are logged ondata updates.
