Who needs this in Maine

Debt collectors that collect from Maine consumers generally need a license from the Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection.

Where to file

Apply through BCCP. Money-transmitter work, if any, is a separate Bureau of Financial Institutions filing.

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.
