Licensing

Most states require a collection agency license, appropriate bonding, or a certificate of authority in order to attempt collection. Stuart-Lippman and Associates has in place the required licensing, bonding and certificates of authority to collect nationwide.

In Arizona, where our home office is located, collection agencies are among the most vigorously audited and monitored companies. We are governed by The Arizona Department of Financial Institutions (ADFI). Regularly, ADFI will perform routine on-site audits.
