Jack Gordon replied to Eric Neal's discussion Foti Mesg vs. No Disclosure"You can use a cell number in the collection of debt, as long as you dial it manually. Autodialing it is the issue, and it is a tough one. Autodial a sophisticated consumer, and you have handed them your checkbook.
Too bad autodialers can't weed…"
Jack Gordon replied to Eric Neal's discussion Foti Mesg vs. No Disclosure"Be careful about using that dialer... if you unintentionally hit a cell phone with one of them, the consequences can be outrageous. TCPA awards $500 per call. Unless you have an excellent process for weeding out cells, I would lose the dialer. At…"
Jack Gordon replied to Eric Neal's discussion Foti Mesg vs. No Disclosure"Eric, this is about as settled as it is going to get anytime soon. Many courts have made it clear that debt collectors can not expect the absolute right to use telephone messages as a debt collection tool.
I am a former agency owner, so hopefully my…"
Jack Gordon replied to Kelly Fox's discussion Is collections from home something that can be successful?"Hi Monique,
I jumped to the vendor side after owning/running an established agency for about 4 years. I now run WebRecon LLC, which tracks consumers who sue creditors and collectors under the various consumer protection statutes. You can learn more…"

Jack Gordon replied to Kelly Fox's discussion Is collections from home something that can be successful?"Of course it CAN be done, I just think the odds are so overwhelming against you today that it is a foolish thing to do to yourself. And while Michelle Dunn did build an agency working from home, that was a very different time with a lot less risk to…"
Jack Gordon replied to Kelly Fox's discussion Is collections from home something that can be successful?"Monique,you don't have to listen to me. Who the hell am I anyway?
However, I foresee many challenges ahead for you. I can't speak about your friend, as I have no idea who that is. NCO did grow to be the biggest agency out there, but they…"
Jack Gordon replied to Kelly Fox's discussion Is collections from home something that can be successful?"Monique,
I understand the thinking, but let's get real here for a minute. If you can't justify $100-$200 for an office space that will give you access to the tools, security, relationships and the image you need to project for your…"
Jack Gordon replied to Kelly Fox's discussion Is collections from home something that can be successful?"Eric, for $95, you can get a space in my Grand Rapids MI building with room for one desk, a file cabinet and a chair. That's about it, but if you are working out of your home, you don't typically have employees in that space either. To…"
Jack Gordon replied to Kelly Fox's discussion Is collections from home something that can be successful?"Eric, I know what she meant. My response was a lame attempt at humor.
However, behind that was the belief that this is not a business that can seriously be run from one's home. There are too many obstacles - the refusal of most industry vendors…"

Jack Gordon commented on Eric Boone's blog post Credit Reports - Medical Debt"I would add this to the very valid opinions above...
If the debt was incurred through no premeditated intent of the consumer (i.e. ambulance, emergency room, etc), then it is more troublesome than if it was premeditated (plastic surgery,…"
Jack Gordon replied to Kelly Fox's discussion Is collections from home something that can be successful?"Kelly,
I know Rick Shell used to have an interesting program for people in exactly your situation. In a nutshell, he had a large flow of purchased debt coming in, and would set up independent collectors all over the country with software and as many…"

The following statistics are provided to the ARM industry courtesy of WebRecon LLC.
The very significant spike in consumers represented in FDCPA, FCRA and TILA suits during this period are almost entirely due to two attorneys – Feng Li and Joshua Shelton.
