How to Find Phone Numbers & Addresses for Collection Agencies

Collection agencies seem to have little trouble finding you, but finding collection agency addresses and phone numbers sometimes can be challenging. Many collection agencies will only provide a post office box address to consumers. If you want to send the agency a certified letter or even serve the company with a lawsuit, you will want the company's physical address. There are a few sources online that provide the addresses and phone numbers for collection agencies.

Instructions

    1

    Search for collection agencies using the Better Business Bureau's search index. The BBB lists business that they've accredited, as well as those they have not. To use this index, enter the name of the collection agency in the search field and then hit "Search." Click on the result that matches your query. In the "Business Contact & Profile" section the address and phone number of the business is listed. There is no fee to search this index.

    Find a collection agency using Credit Wrench's list. This website lists many collection agencies in alphabetical order throughout the U.S. and Canada. Next to each collection company is the street address and phone number. There is no charge to access this list.

    Locate the address and phone number using Collection Agency Services. This website is actually set up for businesses who are looking to hire the services of an agency to collect on their behalf, but consumers can use it too. The website doesn't list agencies in alphabetical order or provide a convenient search box. You will need to search for agencies by state. Start by searching for the agency listed under the state where your debt was incurred. You can also try to find the company by the state you currently live in. Click on a result to find the address and phone number. There is no fee to access this directory.
