Debt collection
Supervision
Last published: 5 February 2018
Supervision of debt collection agencies encompasses their financial position, treatment of client funds and debt collection performed on the basis of a personal licence.
Collection of own claims and lawyers’ debt collection activities lie outside the scope of Finanstilsynet’s supervision.
At on-site inspections Finanstilsynet checks that agencies operate in accordance with the requirements of law and regulations, including requirements as to correct treatment of recovered funds and, as far as possible, that agencies are run in accordance with the generally accepted debt collection standards.
