FDCPA няма да ви помогне да съберете тази неплатена фактура: Наръчник за B2B събиране на вземания за собственици на малък бизнес
Законът за защита на потребителите при събиране на дългове (FDCPA) обхваща потребителски дългове, събирани от трети страни, така че той не регулира бизнес, който преследва собствените си просрочени B2B фактури — договорното право, член 2 от Единния търговски кодекс (UCC) и щатските закони срещу нелоялни практики го правят. Това ръководство обяснява двата теста на FDCPA, на които повечето търговски вземания не отговарят, и дава последователност от пет стъпки за възстановяване — от договорни клаузи и ритъм на последващи действия, през покана за плащане, малки искове или агенция с комисиона от 15–40%, до изпълнение на съдебно решение.
