- A lot of the focus these days — and rightfully so — is making sure that collection operations are communicating with consumers via the channels that the consumers prefer.

N.C. SUPREME COURT SPLITS ON DEBT COLLECTION CASE

The tie vote in the Supreme Court means the ruling from the state Appeals Court stands, but also means the decision can not be used as a precedent in other litigation.
