Is This Debt Collector Legit?

Type the name of the company or person who called, texted, emailed, or wrote you about a debt. We check it against the FTC's full court-ordered list of permanently banned debt collectors β€” companies and individuals a federal court has barred from the debt collection business for good. Whether or not we find a match, you'll get the red flags to check and exactly what to do next.

Check a name

Enter the company name, "attorney" or law-firm name, or individual's name exactly as they gave it to you. We match on partial names, misspellings, and known aliases (d/b/a / a/k/a) β€” you don't need the exact legal spelling.

We never record, transmit, or store what you type β€” not even locally on this device.
