While debt collection scams have been prevalent in recent years, the most current schemes often use personally identifiable information, including the last four digits or even full Social Security Numbers.

These companies may be owned or affiliated with federally recognized Indian Tribes, which are not licensed or regulated by the Department. While some of these advertisements or web sites do include notice of Tribal affiliation, this is not always the case. Colorado has found instances in which these companies have charged significantly more than the legal interest rate in Colorado and executed wage garnishments without a court order To find out if a lender is licensed in the state, please click here.
