Most debt collection agencies will only collect payment after they have successfully tracked down the debtor and gotten the owed amount back.

Yes, they can. If they cannot reach the debtor after trying, one easy way they can try to reach the delinquent borrower is through their family members. And while they cannot arrest or attack or assault the family members or even the debtor, they can reach out to them to get the information they need regarding the person who has not paid what they owe.

A debt collection agency helps individuals to collect debts from delinquent borrowers. They simply help you pursue your debts and make sure they are paid to get a percentage of the money. They employ debt collectors who will try to contact debtors and convince them to pay up. When they can’t reach the debtors through the contact information provided by their client, they can go further to use probate investigators and other ways to get the person.
