Getting Around in the Debt World: Essential Information Regarding Consumer Collection Agencies
In the current financial environment, both consumers and businesses may find it difficult to manage debt and collections. Knowing what a consumer collection agency does can help people who are having trouble with past-due bills or other collection-related matters by giving them clarity and direction. This blog examines consumer collection agencies—what they are, how they work, and what to do if you come across one.  
A consumer collection agency: what is it?
A specialized company called a consumer collection agency aids creditors in obtaining unpaid debts from individuals. A creditor may use a consumer collection agency to pursue the unpaid balance when a debtor doesn't pay their bills. To guarantee that the debt is collected, these organizations are entrusted with getting in touch with the debtor, settling repayment arrangements, and occasionally pursuing legal action.
How Consumer Collection Agencies Operate
Initial Contact:
Communication: The agency typically starts by sending a written notice or making phone calls to the debtor, informing them of the outstanding debt and requesting payment.
Negotiation: Many agencies offer flexible payment plans or settlements to make it easier for the debtor to repay the debt.
Debt Recovery Process:
Accounts Receivable Management: To collect the debt, collection agencies frequently use a variety of tactics, such as stern demand letters and persistent follow-ups.
Legal Action: In some cases, if the debt remains unpaid, the agency may initiate legal proceedings to obtain a court judgment against the debtor.
Charges and Fees: Collection agencies usually operate on a contingency fee basis, which means they get paid a portion of the money that is recovered. The agency and the case's complexity determine the fees. Why Creditors Employ Debt Recovery Companies
Expertise in Debt Recovery: Collection agencies can be more successful in recovering debts than a creditor's internal efforts because they possess specific knowledge and skills in this area.
Time and Resource Efficiency: When debt collection is outsourced to a third party, creditors can concentrate on their main business activities, and the third party takes care of the recovery process.
Enhanced Cash Flow: Reducing the financial impact of unpaid invoices and increasing cash flow are two benefits of effective debt collection for businesses.
What Shoppers Need to Know About Their Rights: The FDCPA, or Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Collection agency behaviour is regulated in many nations, including the United States. The FDCPA shields customers from collection agencies' unfair, dishonest, or abusive tactics. Verification: You are entitled to ask for the debt's verification. If you contest the debt, collection agencies are required to present evidence of it. Managing Conversations:
Record Everything: Maintain thorough records of every correspondence you have with the collection agency, including letters, phone conversations, and agreements about payments.
Know Your Options: If you're having trouble paying off debt, you might want to look into options like debt consolidation, debt negotiation, or consulting a financial advisor.
Agencies to Negotiate with: Payment Plans A lot of organizations are open to negotiating settlements or payment schedules. It's critical to have frank conversations and come to a decision that works for you.
You can manage debt collection more skilfully if you comprehend the function and workings of consumer collection agencies. Knowing your rights and options can help you navigate the process with confidence, whether you're a consumer dealing with collections or a business looking to recover outstanding debts. Collaborating with a trustworthy consumer collection agency can help creditors increase financial results and expedite debt recovery. Consumers can handle and resolve debt issues more skilfully by being proactive and knowledgeable.

Good question:
Tumblr media
In the United States, many jails and prisons can and will charge you money for every single night that you spend imprisoned, for the entire duration of your incarceration, as if you were being billed for staying at a hotel. Even if you are incarcerated for years. Adding up to tens of thousands of dollars. What happens when you’re released?
In response to this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
---
So.
You’re getting charged, like, ten dollars every time you even submit a request form to possibly be seen by a doctor or dentist.
You’re getting charged maybe five dollars for ten minutes on the phone.
Any time a friend or family tries to send you like five dollars so that you can buy some toothpaste or lotion, or maybe a snack from the commissary since you’re diabetic and the “meals” have left you malnourished, maybe half of that money gets taken as a “service fee” by the corporate contractor that the prison uses to manage your pre-paid debit card. So you’re already losing money every day just by being there.
What happens if you can’t pay?
In some places, after serving just a couple of years for drugs charges, almost 20 years after being released, the state can still hunt you down for over $80,000 that you “owe” as if it were a per-night room-and-board accommodations charge, like this recent highly-publicized case in Connecticut:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Excerpt:
Two decades after her release from prison, [TB] feels she is still being punished. When her mother died two years ago, the state of Connecticut put a lien on the Stamford home she and her siblings inherited. It said she owed $83,762 to cover the cost of her 2 1/2 year imprisonment for drug crimes. [...] “I’m about to be homeless,” said [TB], 58, who in March [2022] became the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the state law that charges prisoners $249 a day for the cost of their incarceration. [...] All but two states have so-called “pay-to-stay” laws that make prisoners pay for their time behind bars [...]. Critics say it’s an unfair second penalty that hinders rehabilitation by putting former inmates in debt for life. Efforts have been underway in some places to scale back or eliminate such policies. Two states — Illinois and New Hampshire — have repealed their laws since 2019. [...] Pay-to-stay laws were put into place in many areas during the tough-on-crime era of the 1980s and ’90s, said Brittany Friedman, an assistant professor of sociology at University of Southern California who is leading a study of the practice. [...] Connecticut used to collect prison debt by attaching an automatic lien to every inmate, claiming half of any financial windfall they might receive for up to 20 years after they are released from prison [...].

Look at this:
To help her son, Cindy started depositing between $50 to $100 a week into Matthew’s account, money he could use to buy food from the prison commissary, such as packaged ramen noodles, cookies, or peanut butter and jelly to make sandwiches. Cindy said sending that money wasn’t necessarily an expense she could afford. “No one can,” she said. So far in the past month, she estimates she sent Matthew close to $300. But in reality, he only received half of that amount. The balance goes straight to the prison to pay off the $1,000 in “rent” that the prison charged Matthew for his prior incarceration. [...] A PA Post examination of six county budgets (Crawford, Dauphin, Lebanon, Lehigh, Venango and Indiana) showed that those counties’ prisons have collected more than $15 million from inmates — almost half is for daily room and board fees that are meant to cover at least a portion of the costs with housing and food. Prisoners who don’t work are still expected to pay. If they don’t, their bills are sent to collections agencies, which can report the debts to credit bureaus. [...] Between 2014 and 2017, the Indiana County Prison — which has an average inmate population of 87 people — collected nearly $3 million from its prisoners. In the past five years, Lebanon’s jail collected just over $2 million in housing and processing fees.

Pay-to-stay, the practice of charging people to pay for their own jail or prison confinement, is being enforced unfairly by using criminal, civil and administrative law, according to a new Rutgers University-New Brunswick led study. The study [...] finds that charging pay-to-stay fees is triggered by criminal justice contact but possible due to the co-opting of civil and administrative institutions, like social service agencies and state treasuries that oversee benefits, which are outside the realm of criminal justice. “A person can be charged $20 to $80 a day for their incarceration,” said author Brittany Friedman, an assistant professor of sociology and a faculty affiliate of Rutgers' criminal justice program. “That per diem rate can lead to hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees when a person gets out of prison. To recoup fees, states use civil means such as lawsuits and wage garnishment against currently and formerly incarcerated people, and regularly use administrative means such as seizing employment pensions, tax refunds and public benefits to satisfy the debt.” [...] Civil penalties are enacted on family members if the defendant cannot pay and in states such as Florida, Nevada and Idaho can occur even after the original defendant is deceased. [...]

So, to pay for your own imprisonment, states can:
-- hunt you down for decades (track you down 20 years later, charge you tens of thousands of dollars, and take your house away)
-- put a lien on your vehicle, house
-- garnish your paycheck/wages
-- seize your tax refund
-- send collections agencies after you
-- take your public assistance benefits
-- sue you in civil court
-- take money from your family even after you’re dead

No mention of covid or long covid, but lots of mention of "cost to taxpayers" and "learning losses." I wonder what *specific* actions should be taken besides forcing sick people to stay in the classroom? Hmmst...
By Poppy Wood
Concerns that absence crisis provoked by the pandemic continues to disrupt learning
About 14,000 teachers in England called in sick every day last year, analysis has found.
Department for Education (DfE) data show that about 2.5 million school days were lost in 2022-23 as more than 326,000 teachers missed class owing to sickness.
Each teacher who took sick leave reported an average of eight days off work last year. It equates to almost 13,700 teachers calling in sick on any given day during the 190-day school year.
About 66.2 per cent of England’s teaching workforce were off school because of illness last year, according to the DfE’s school workforce statistics.
It marks a slight decrease on the 67.5 per cent of teachers who called in sick in 2021-22, but is still far above the pre-pandemic rate of 54.1 per cent.
The figures will raise concerns that an absence crisis provoked by the pandemic continues to disrupt learning, with the number of pupils missing school also significantly higher post-Covid.
In total, 7.8 million school days have been lost to sickness since in-person teaching resumed following the pandemic, according to analysis of DfE data by the TaxPayers’ Alliance.
Compared with the 2018-19 academic year – the year before the pandemic – an extra 461,500 teaching days were lost last year because of staff illness.
Joanna Marchong, investigations campaign manager of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “Taxpayers will be shocked by the sheer number of sick days taken by teaching staff.
“Alongside their generous holiday entitlements, hundreds of thousands of teachers are frequently absent, leaving classrooms in disarray and forcing taxpayers to bear the significant costs of finding covers.
“Schools must tackle this issue if they want to deliver a consistent quality of education that is value for money for taxpayers.”
‘Deteriorating mental health’ While the Government does not collect statistics centrally on the reasons for teacher absence, experts have pointed to increased stress and deteriorating mental health.
In some secondary schools, as many as 166 teachers took sick leave at some point during the 2022-23 academic year, compounding financial pressures on already stretched school budgets.
Most teachers in England receive full sick pay for 25 working days off work in their first year in the profession, rising to 100 working days in their fourth and successive years of teaching.
The Telegraph revealed last week that teacher absences are forcing schools to spend billions on supply staff each year as headteachers scramble to plug gaps in the workforce.
In 2022-23, schools gave £1.2 billion of taxpayers’ cash towards expensive teacher supply agencies to fill vacancies and cover long-term sickness. It is almost double the £738 million spent on supply teachers in the year before the pandemic.
Labour has promised to allow teachers to complete more tasks from home in an attempt to make the profession more attractive. The Government is also exploring how to use artificial intelligence to reduce staff workloads, after almost one in 10 teachers quit the profession last year.
It is hoped the measures will help tackle the recruitment and retention crisis and stem the tide of staff calling in sick each day.
Daniel Kebede, the general secretary of the National Education Union (NEU), called on the Government to improve teacher pay to prevent a growing exodus from the sector.
“We need to see a concerted effort by the Government to retain teachers in the profession. This will need changes to accountability so we have a collaborative and supportive system,” he said.
“This will also require action on closing the pay gap between teachers and other graduate professions, reducing workload and more flexible working in education”.
Mr Kebede blamed the rise in the teacher absence rate since the pandemic on “excessive teacher workload driven by a high-stakes assessment and accountability system”.
He warned this would continue to “leave many teachers burnt out, leading to stress, sickness and people leaving the profession” without urgent government action.
Labour has come under fire for bowing to pressure from education unions on above-inflation public sector pay deals and demands.
Last month, the NEU voted to accept the Government’s pay offer of a 5.5 per cent uplift for most teachers this year, but warned that it will push for a bigger hike next year.
It suggests the UK’s largest teaching union will continue to wield the threat of further strike action as it seeks long-term funding to address the retention crisis.
‘Severely absent’ pupils Bridget Phillipson, the Education Secretary, has warned of a “dire” inheritance from the previous government as she faces calls for further funding from across the sector.
Schools are also struggling with dwindling pupil attendance levels since the pandemic, with Ms Phillipson warning recently that it was quickly becoming an “absence epidemic”.
More than one in 50 pupils in England are now missing at least half the school year, official figures show.
The proportion of children classed as “severely absent” – meaning they failed to show up for 50 per cent or more of classes – rose to 2.1 per cent in the autumn and spring terms of 2023-24.
It means that about 158,000 pupils were severely absent from school during those teaching periods, according to DfE data.
The DfE was approached for comment.

Lonesome Cowboys Andy Warhol, 1968
A set of original 16mm presentation reels of the film that sparked the “Stonewall of the South.” Six 35mm film reels housed in 2 metal flight cases. Movielab, New York, pritned ca. 1969.
On the evening of 5 August 1969, a small crowd of seventy settled in to view Andy Warhol’s Lonesome Cowboys at the recently opened art cinema at the Ansley Mall in Atlanta. About fifteen minutes into the homoerotic underground spoof on westerns featuring Warhol stars Viva, Joe Dallesandro, Eric Emerson, Meade, and Tom Hompertz, the film suddenly stopped, and the house lights went up. The police, some in uniform, others in plainclothes, were everywhere, some with cameras taking photographs of the startled movie-goers still in their seats. Those who attempted to depart quickly were blocked at the door and they too were photographed and questioned by Atlanta police officers. Other officers headed upstairs to the projection room to seize the film reels and arrest James Russ, the manager of the Ansley Mini-Cinema. The police mounted the raid not only to enforce local obscenity laws but identify “known homosexuals,” part of a pattern of harassment that members of Atlanta’s gay Midtown neighborhood routinely endured. Abby Drue, a noted LBGTQ activist, was in the audience that night. “They had everybody get up and line up,” she recalled. “We had popcorn in our mouths. I think I had a submarine sandwich I was in the middle of eating. That’s how absurd it was.”
The police raid in Atlanta occurred a little more than a month after the Stonewall riots in New York, and for many members of the city’s burgeoning LGBTQ community, the raid on the Ansley Mini-Cinema was the final straw. Several days after the raid, a group of protesters were pepper-sprayed and some arrested. These events compelled Atlanta’s LGBTQ community to form the Georgia Gay Liberation Front. That organization would mount Atlanta’s first Pride march in 1971 — an unsanctioned march in which many of participants wore paper bags over their heads to protect their identities — starkly demonstrating the risk of physical harm that was an ever-present threat. Despite local hostility, the marches continued, and Atlanta’s LBGTQ community began flourishing over the ensuing decades becoming strong and vibrant. Today, the raid has been dubbed, “The Stonewall of the South.”
Yet the Atlanta police were not the only law enforcement agency to take interest in Lonesome Cowboys. The FBI had been monitoring the film soon after it was filmed in a single day a dude ranch near Tucson, Arizona on 28 January 1968. A Special Agent was dispatched to Arizona to interview witnesses to support a potential charge of “interstate transportation of obscene matter.” The investigation had been prompted by a complaint received at the Pinal County Sherriff, that “some guests at the Rancho Linda Vista Guest Ranch were making an obscene film.” Sherriff’s deputies arrived at the ranch on the afternoon of the 28th and ordered that the filming be halted immediately. The FBI kept a copiously detailed dossier on the film’s production based on eyewitness accounts that offer a window into the chaos of the film’s production covering all aspects from various “unnatural sexual acts” to details on the license plate numbers (redacted) of those on set. One eyewitness recalled that “The movie seemed to have no plot and the actors just said anything that came into their minds.” (Vincent Canby and other critics would take a similar view.) The FBI continued to monitor the film’s production and distribution, noting that Warhol had intended it to be premiered at the Hudson Theatre in New York in late April 1968, but editing was taking longer than planned. Then in early June, Warhol fell victim to an assassination attempt, further delaying production. It finally premiered at the San Francicso International Film Festival on 1 November 1968, and FBI agents were there collecting further evidence.
Meanwhile in Atlanta, the question of whether the film could be considered obscene landed in the courts. Ultimately, Lewis Slayton, the Fulton County District Attorney, allowed the film to be shown after Cradock Films, who held the rights to distribute the film in Georgia, agreed to edit out what the county considered objectionable. By early January 1970, the Ansley Mini-Cinema was once again presenting Lonesome Cowboys. As far as the FBI’s investigation into Warhol’s activities was concerned, federal prosecutors in Arizona, San Francisco and New York ultimately declined to pursue the charges in court, as the film was not considered “obscene within the definition of that word as defined by the Supreme Court of the United States.”
The present copy is believed to have been printed as early as 1969, but no earlier. According to the FBI report on the film’s screening in San Francisco in November 1968, the film opened with “the woman [Viva] and her male nurse [Taylor Meade] on a street in the town,” but the present copy, opens with a sex scene between Viva and Tom Hompert which appears to be consistent with the currently-known copies. The markings found on the paper sleeves include a red stamp for “INTERNATIONAL AMUSEMENT CORP,” a short-lived distribution and production company based in North Carolina established in 1974. This would suggest this film was in circulation in various art houses up until at least the mid to late 1970s.
The current number of original copies used during the film’s showings in 1969 and 1970 is unclear, but the present set of reels is marked as “Print No. 10” on each of the surviving paper sleeves. Original reels of the film are known to have survived including a master print at the Andy Warhol museum and copies at the Museum of Modern Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. It is not clear if other copies survive in any private collections.

If after June 10 there is no adopted budget for the year or a new extension of last year's budget, the state will only be able to spend as much as it collects. This becomes clear in the response of the Bulgarian Ministry of Finance after a question from the National Radio whether, in the worst case scenario, there will be funds for pensions and salaries in the public sector. The action of the so-called extension law on the budget ends precisely on June 10.
Since it is now almost practically impossible to pass an entirely new budget for the year by June 10, the most likely hypothesis is that the MPs will vote another extension of last year's budget.
A direct answer to the question of whether the Ministry of Finance is preparing a proposal for such an extension was not given, despite the inquiry from the radio, but the clarification is made that in the event of a new extension, "the systems will be financed as in the first months of the year under the previous order". This means that the expenses will be at the level of the same period for 2022, taking into account acts of the National Assembly, the Council of Ministers and other regulatory administrative acts that provide for additional or reduced budget funds.
Virtually no costs can be reduced, except for savings from unrealized activities and projects of first-rate budget managers. One-time expenses for the same period last year will be counted as a reduction, the ministry specifies.
In the event of a non-adopted budget after June 10 and on the condition that the so-called extension law, in order to finance expenses and transfers after June 10, 2023, mandatory according to the Law on Public Finances, on the proposal of the Council of Ministers, the National Assembly should set a new deadline for collecting revenues, for making expenses and for providing transfers.
In this case, the expenses and transfers provided must be equal to the amount of received income, aid and donations and in compliance with the fiscal rules under the Law on Public Finances, the Ministry of Finance adds.

W.Va. Senate President Blair: 'Transparency and Accountability Are Critical to Democracy'
Tumblr media
There’s an old saying that goes, “with great freedom comes great responsibility.” In my mind, one of the best examples of that phrase is the relationship between the government and the media. It’s an adversarial relationship by nature because we co-exist in the same sphere of operating with great freedom and great responsibility. You don’t have to like what the media reports. I’ll be honest – I often don’t. However, there’s a very clear difference between not liking what the media reports and actively working to silence them. The actions this week by the DHHR and the management of West Virginia Public Broadcasting went too far, and it appears our Executive Branch has gone from largely refusing to cooperate with the media to actively undermining it. A government that serves its people must respect the critical role a free press plays in the process. With that critical role comes responsibility on behalf of the media to be accurate and to leave political bias at the door. While I cannot say that every reporter I have interacted with has been able to do that – and some have been downright dishonest in their reporting – I can say with confidence that was not the case here. In this case, a reporter did her job, did it fairly, told the truth, and seemed to pay a hefty price. West Virginia Public Broadcasting reporter Amelia Knisely wrote about my letter to Governor Jim Justice calling for an investigation into DHHR’s policies and management of treatment for patients with disabilities in their care. Before we received a response from either the Governor’s office or DHHR about my concerns, former Secretary Crouch had already sent a letter to the executive director of Public Broadcasting demanding the story be retracted. If those priorities sound a bit off to you, they are. West Virginia’s most vulnerable citizens are suffering, and they need our help. After what I’ve seen as this story unfolds, I continue to have the strong belief that the help they desperately need cannot come from the DHHR in its current form. Transparency and accountability are critical to democracy. Our citizens deserve to know how their government operates, and I am proud of the Senate for the tools we have in place to keep our citizens informed. We live stream and video archive every meeting. We allow testimony before our committees to occur remotely. Every month, our Finance Committee publishes a General Revenue Collections report that gives a detailed picture of our state’s finances. Through our official social media, we make sure to share agendas, amendments, floor votes, and other real-time information as it happens. We also communicate with the press, even when it makes us uncomfortable. Our staff fields numerous requests every week, sometimes taking hours to walk reporters through routine and complicated processes, explain bills, and help the media tell a fuller, more accurate story. This is not something you’ll see out of the Executive Branch. The Executive Branch operates in carefully constructed, made-for-TV media events where there is no give and take, and their agencies seldom respond to basic questions from the media. That behavior undermines the confidence in our government and our leaders. The job of the media isn’t to make us comfortable. It’s to make us accountable. In turn, it’s not the job of the media to be opponents to everything we do, either. Respect is a two-way street, and we strive to be respectful above all things. Steven Allen Adams’s reporting about DHHR’s interference in the Public Broadcasting news department and pressure on it to silence negative stories is disturbing, and that behavior would not be tolerated in the Senate. I hope the Executive Branch disavows this blatant abuse of the First Amendment and holds the management of West Virginia Public Broadcasting responsible for it. Senate President Craig Blair, R-Berkeley, represents the 15th Senatorial District, which includes part of Berkeley County, and Hampshire and Morgan counties. Read the full article

Here’s some info from FEMA’s tweet:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Text from Images:
Integrated Public Alert & Warning System
(IPAWS) 2023 National Test FAQs
What is the purpose of the national test?
The national test will help ensure that Wireless Emergency Alerts (WE) and the Emergency Alert System (EAS) continue to be effective ways to warn the public about emergencies, particularly those on the national level.
If the Oct. 4, 2023 test is postponed due to widespread severe weather or other significant events, the backup testing date is Oct. 11.
What must I do when I receive the national test?
No action is needed.
Why are you testing this system now?
Legislation passed in 2015 requires FEMA to conduct nationwide tests of IPAWS at least once every three years. The tests can include WEA, EAS and other alert and warning systems. The most recent national test was in 2021.
What will the national test display on my mobile phone?
"THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed." Phones set to Spanish wil display: "ESTA ES UNA PRUEBA del Sistema Nacional de Alerta de Emergencia. No se necesita acción.
The test will include tones and vibration to capture your attention.
What will the national test announce on TV and radio?
"This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, covering the United States from 14:20 to 14:50 hours ET. This is only a test. No action is required by the public."
How do I ensure that I receive the national test?
All major U.S. wireless providers participate in Wireless Emergency Alerts and will transmit the national test to their subscribers. If you have a WEA-compatible mobile phone that is on, within range of an active cell tower, and on a network where WEA is supported, you should receive the national test.
Wireless providers will transmit the national test for 30 minutes, but your phone should only receive it once. Some providers do not participate in WEA and will not transmit the national test. Some providers may participate in WEA on part of their network.
If your radio or TV is on and tuned to a broadcast station, a satellite radio or TV service or cable or wireless TV, it should receive the national test from the Emergency Alert System.
Is there a cost to receive the national test?
No.
Do I need to sign up to receive Wireless Emergency Alerts or the national test?
No sign-up, account or subscription is needed to receive WE or the national test. Some local governments have their own mass-notification systems that require subscriptions.
Can the national test monitor, locate or lock my phone?
No.
Will the national test be used to gather my private data?
No. Both EAS and WE are broadcast technologies and do not collect any of your data. This test is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the systems in sending an emergency message.
What if I am on a phone call at the time of the national test?
The national test will not interrupt a phone call.
I will be traveling away from home on Oct. 4. Will I still receive the national test?
If your mobile phone is on and receiving service from a participating wireless provider, you should receive the national test.
Can I opt-out of tests in my phone settings?
Recent models of mobile phones may include a setting to opt-out of tests and alerts. None of those settings will affect the 2023 national test. If your mobile phone is on and receiving service from a participating wireless provider, you should receive the national test.
I didn't receive the national test on my mobile phone. Why?
Only WEA-compatible mobile phones that are switched on, not on 'airplane' mode, within range of an active cell tower, and on a network where the wireless provider participates in WE will be capable of receiving the test message.
Please note the last two bolded questions and their answers. You can’t opt out of this in your phone settings. You need to have your phone in airplane mode or turned completely off in order to not get this alert.
[Plain text: Please note the last two bolded questions and their answers. You can’t opt out of this in your phone settings. You need to have your phone in airplane mode or turned completely off in order to not get this alert.]

ARMIN ORDODARY AND THE FSM SMART FRAUD (2024)
Media released a request for information about the broker fraud FSM Smart and its operator, Armin Ordodary, at the beginning of March 2017. We did, in fact, learn some important facts. After speaking with insiders, we were given the assurance that Armin Ordodary would merely serve as a front for a bigger organization. Not long after we requested it, FSM Smart modified its domain. The fact that the Scam Broker is still active online is another reality. We must reiterate our request for information because this is intolerable.
VERIFIED FSM INTELLIGENCE REGARDING ARMIN ORDODARY
Following the most recent call, we were informed that Armin Ordodary was the manager and founder of both the white-label broker platform provider NepCore and the SIAO Group. In the interim, both businesses have shut down their websites.
We have received confirmation that Armin Ordodary is a manager and shareholder of DOO, the upmarket Serbian company. This is purportedly a marketing firm that introduces fresh victims to broker scams, not a boiler room.
It has come to our attention that the Iranian-born resident of Cyprus and his businesses are merely a small component of a worldwide criminal network.
Information about the illicit broker scheme FSM Smart (www.fsmsmart.com) and its aggressive client acquisition strategy through Upmarkt d.o.o., a Serbian boiler room, was provided to the media by whistleblowers. Benrich Holdings Ltd., a company based in Cyprus, is the only shareholder in this boiler room. Armin Ordodary, a resident of Cyprus, is a director of both companies.
THE WARNINGS TO INVESTORS ABOUT ARMIN ORDODARY
Early in 2018, the illicit broker was introduced. Currently, investors are advised not to participate in the FSM Smart scheme (www.fsmsmart.com and http://www.fsmsmarts.com).
The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) warned investors against the plan in March of 2019.
ASIC, an Australian agency, warned investors not to participate in the broker scheme in April 2019.
August 2018: A warning was released by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) of New Zealand;
October 2018: A warning was issued by FINMA, Switzerland’s financial market supervisory authority.
In November 2018, the Manitoba-based Canadian watchdog, MSC, issued a warning to investors about FSM Smart.
According to reports, the FSM Smart contact address is Hertensteinstrasse 51, 6004 Luzern in Switzerland.
FSM SMART (ARMIN ORDODARY’S BRAINCHILD)
As one of the oldest and most innovative Forex brokers in the world, FSMSmart has elevated the entire industry to new heights. Both FSMSmart and its operations manager, FSM Smart Ltd., are well-known in the financial services industry.
Over 140 countries worldwide have benefited from the Company’s noteworthy and well-founded financial services thanks to its brave service and steadfast dedication.
Because of the company’s vast market expertise and experience, FSMSmart provides top-notch services. As we enhance our existing technology to enable the vast and volatile industry to establish a reliable and sound trading system, we continue to give the enormous value of the market to our clients.
The Company’s founding members, who have been in the brokerage and forex industries for more than 50 years and who have been directing and instilling values in FSMSmart from its foundation, are financial professionals and adept financial service providers.
FSMSmart is constantly coming up with new ideas and methods to ensure that our clients have a luxurious and fulfilling experience. In addition, the company strives to offer the finest possible trading circumstances and top-notch client support while carefully selecting Account Managers to ensure success in forex trading.
FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY
The UK government has no control over the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), a financial regulator that is funded by fees collected from participants in the financial services sector. The FCA protects the integrity of the UK financial markets by regulating financial companies that offer services to consumers.
It focuses on how financial services companies, both retail and wholesale, are expected to behave. Similar to the FSA, which it replaced, the FCA is set up as a company limited by guarantee. To establish regulatory standards for the financial industry, the Financial Policy Committee, the Prudential Regulation Authority, and the FCA collaborate. The FCA is responsible for the conduct of around 58,000 businesses which employ 2.2 million people and contribute around £65.6 billion in annual tax revenue to the economy in the United Kingdom.

5 Steps to Fix My Credit in California
Tumblr media
Are you looking to fix your credit in California? If so, you’re not alone. Many people in the Golden State are working to improve their credit scores and financial well-being. Whether you’re looking to buy a home, get a car loan, or simply improve your overall financial health, taking steps to fix your credit is a crucial first step. In this blog post, we’ll discuss 5 steps to help you fix your credit in California.
1. Understanding Your Credit Score
To effectively navigate the path to credit repair in California, grasping the essence of your credit score is essential. This score, a three-digit number ranging between 300 and 850, acts as a gauge for lenders to evaluate your reliability as a borrower. A higher score not only enhances your eligibility for loans and credit but also could qualify you for lower interest rates, making borrowing less expensive in the long run. It’s comprised of several components, including your payment history, the amounts owed, the length of your credit history, new credit, and types of credit used. By dissecting these elements, you gain insights into what lenders are looking for and can pinpoint specific areas for improvement. Remember, a robust understanding of your credit score lays the groundwork for any credit repair journey, providing a clear direction for the actions needed to enhance your financial standing in California.
2. Checking Your Credit Report
Initiating the journey to amend your credit in the Golden State begins with a thorough examination of your credit report. This detailed record encompasses your credit history, including account statuses, payment timelines, and various financial activities that collectively influence your credit score. Regular review of your credit report is imperative, as it allows for the early detection of any inaccuracies or discrepancies that might be detrimentally affecting your score. Californians have the privilege of accessing one free credit report annually from each of the major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Seize this opportunity to scrutinize your report for precision and completeness. Ensuring the accuracy of this document is a critical step in rectifying your credit, as it lays bare the facts of your financial behaviors, highlighting areas ripe for improvement or correction. This proactive measure is foundational in paving the way towards credit restoration and ultimately achieving financial health.
3. Identifying and Disputing Errors
Discovering inaccuracies on your credit report is a critical aspect of credit repair in California. Errors can range from minor mistakes in personal information to significant discrepancies like unwarranted accounts due to identity theft. Should you encounter any discrepancies, immediately initiate a dispute with the appropriate credit bureau. It’s essential to compile any documents that support your case, as these will serve as evidence to validate your dispute. Each bureau has its own procedure for disputes, so familiarize yourself with their processes. Upon receiving your dispute, the credit bureau is obligated to investigate the issue, typically within 30 days. If your dispute is validated, the error will be corrected, potentially leading to an improvement in your credit score. Diligently monitoring your credit report and addressing errors swiftly ensures your financial profile accurately reflects your credit behavior, an indispensable step towards enhancing your credit in California.
4. Managing Your Debt
To effectively manage your debt, an essential component in rectifying your credit in California, creating a strategic plan is key. Initiating this process involves outlining a comprehensive budget that details your income and expenses. This critical step allows you to pinpoint unnecessary expenditures that can be reduced or eliminated, freeing up additional funds to allocate towards debt repayment. Implementing repayment strategies, such as the debt snowball method, where you focus on paying off smaller debts first while maintaining minimum payments on larger debts, or the debt avalanche method, targeting debts with the highest interest rates first, can expedite your journey to becoming debt-free. Additionally, consider negotiating with creditors to potentially lower interest rates or secure more favorable repayment terms. Prioritizing debt management not only aids in improving your credit score but also strengthens your financial stability by reducing the burden of debt. Engaging in these practices facilitates a more disciplined approach to financial management, paving the way for lasting credit improvement.
5. Building Good Credit Habits
Establishing and maintaining healthy credit habits are pivotal in the journey to repair your credit in the state of California. This process involves several key practices that directly impact your credit score. One fundamental habit is ensuring timely payment of all your bills; late payments can negatively affect your credit score. Additionally, keeping your credit card balances well below the credit limit demonstrates to lenders that you manage your credit responsibly. It’s also wise to limit the frequency of new credit applications, as each application can result in a hard inquiry that may lower your score temporarily. To streamline the management of your financial obligations, leveraging tools such as automatic payments or calendar reminders can be incredibly effective. These practices not only aid in the gradual improvement of your credit score but also instill financial discipline that benefits your overall economic health. Embracing these habits will set a solid foundation for your credit repair efforts in California.
Conclusion
Embarking on a journey to repair your credit in California might feel overwhelming initially, yet it’s a path laden with opportunities for financial improvement. By adhering to the quintessential steps outlined – comprehending your credit score, scrutinizing your credit report for accuracy, rectifying any discrepancies, tactically managing your debt, and cultivating beneficial credit practices – you position yourself favorably for elevating your credit status. The essence of this process is patience and persistence, as elevating your credit score is a gradual endeavor. The payoff, however, from enhanced loan eligibility to reduced interest rates, significantly enriches your financial landscape. Embrace the challenge with optimism, and recognize that each step taken is a stride towards financial empowerment and a brighter economic future in California.

The Pros and Cons of Third-Party Collection Agencies
Debt collection can be a daunting task for businesses, especially when it involves dealing with unpaid invoices and delinquent accounts. For many companies, turning to a debt collection agency is a viable solution. However, this decision comes with both advantages and disadvantages. In this blog post, we’ll explore the pros and cons of using a third-party collection agency, helping you make an informed choice for your business.
Tumblr media
What is a Debt Collection Agency?
A debt collection agency is a company that specializes in recovering unpaid debts on behalf of other businesses. When a customer fails to pay their bills, a business may hire a debt collection agency to handle the collection process. These agencies typically have the resources and expertise to manage delinquent accounts effectively, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations.
Pros of Using a Debt Collection Agency
1. Expertise in Debt Recovery
One of the most significant advantages of hiring a debt collection agency is their expertise. These agencies are skilled in the art of debt recovery. They understand the legal requirements, regulations, and best practices involved in collecting debts. This expertise often leads to higher recovery rates than if a business attempted to collect the debt on its own.
2. Saves Time and Resources
Managing debt collection in-house can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. By outsourcing this task to a debt collection agency, businesses can save valuable time and focus on their primary operations. This is particularly beneficial for small businesses that may lack the staff or resources to dedicate to collection efforts.
3. Improved Cash Flow
Using a debt collection agency can significantly improve a company's cash flow. By recovering overdue payments, businesses can reinvest that money into operations, pay employees, and fulfill other financial obligations. An improved cash flow can lead to better financial stability and growth opportunities.
4. Professionalism and Customer Service
A reputable debt collection agency prioritizes professionalism and customer service. They are trained to handle sensitive situations delicately, ensuring that communication remains respectful. This can help maintain a positive relationship with customers, even when they are in debt. In many cases, customer service outsourcing to a collection agency can help enhance a business's overall customer experience.
5. Legal Protection
Debt collection is governed by strict regulations, such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) in the United States. Hiring a debt collection agency ensures compliance with these laws, protecting your business from potential legal repercussions. This is particularly important, as improper collection practices can lead to lawsuits and d
amage to your reputation.
Cons of Using a Debt Collection Agency
1. Cost of Services
One of the main drawbacks of hiring a debt collection agency is the cost. Agencies typically charge a percentage of the recovered debt, which can reduce the overall amount your business receives. For small businesses, this expense may not be justifiable, particularly if the debts are small.
2. Loss of Control
When you outsource your debt collection, you relinquish some control over the process. This can be concerning for businesses that prefer to manage their relationships with customers personally. Depending on the agency’s methods, this could lead to a disconnect between your business and its clients.
3. Potential Damage to Customer Relationships
Although reputable debt collection agencies focus on professionalism, there’s always a risk that aggressive collection tactics may harm your customer relationships. If customers feel pressured or mistreated, they may choose to take their business elsewhere. This is particularly important for businesses that rely on repeat customers or long-term relationships.
4. Variable Recovery Rates
Not all debt collection agencies are created equal, and their recovery rates can vary significantly. If you hire an agency with a poor track record, you may not see the returns you expect. It’s essential to research and choose a reputable agency to ensure effective debt recovery.
5. Negative Perception
Using a debt collection agency can sometimes lead to negative perceptions of your business. Customers may view your company as aggressive or uncaring if they are contacted by a collection agency. This perception can affect your brand image, making it crucial to choose an agency that aligns with your values and approach to customer service.
Conclusion
Deciding to use a debt collection agency can significantly impact your business's financial health and customer relationships. While the expertise and efficiency of a collection agency can enhance your cash flow, it's essential to weigh the potential drawbacks, such as costs and the risk of damaging customer relationships.
When considering a debt collection agency, take the time to research and select one that prioritizes professionalism and ethical practices. Look for agencies with a proven track record and positive customer reviews. By doing so, you can benefit from improved debt recovery while maintaining a strong brand image and positive customer service.
In summary, while outsourcing your debt collection can provide numerous advantages, it’s vital to approach this decision thoughtfully. The right debt collection agency can help streamline your operations and enhance your cash flow, ultimately supporting your business’s growth and success.
