The modified order reportedly reduced the civil penalty from $100,000 to $75,000, required cease-and-desist relief, and included payment of back licensing fees.

What changed

Connecticut adjusted an existing debt collection enforcement order after a reconsideration request. The matter still centered on unlicensed collection activity and conduct allegations, but the revised terms lowered the penalty amount.

Compliance perspective

Collection agencies should treat this as another reminder that Connecticut licensing remains actively enforced and that back fees may be part of resolution terms. Even though the order predates the exact window, it remained a current enforcement signal at the start of the period.

Key date

Effective date: June 9, 2026.
