Who needs this in Arkansas

Third-party collection agencies operating in Arkansas generally need a license from the State Board of Collection Agencies, a standalone board rather than the banking department.

Where to file

File directly with the State Board of Collection Agencies. Mortgage and lender filings do not cover collection work in Arkansas.

Federal overlay

State licensing does not replace the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, CFPB Regulation F, or the TCPA. Those rules apply whether or not a state issues a license.
