New Colorado Website Requires Updated Communication to Consumers

← All articles
Filed under Licensing

Communication with Colorado Consumers must reflect the new website: www.coag.gov/car

Greetings,

It has recently come to our attention that some collection agencies may be using an outdated website address in communication with Colorado consumers in connection with debt collection. The website address (WWW.AGO.STATE.CO.US/CADC/CADCMAIN.CFM) listed in § 5-16-105(3)(c) of the Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (CFDCPA) is no longer valid.

Pursuant to this statute, in the event the listed website is changed, a debt collector is required to correct its communication with consumers to reflect the new website address. The correct website address that must be used on all communication in connection with debt collection is: www.coag.gov/car.

Please review your written communication records to ensure Colorado consumers receive the correct website address. If you have questions and/or concerns, please contact the Consumer Credit Unit at the phone number or email address below.

Sincerely,

Collection Agency Regulation
