1. The terms and conditions of any written
agreement between a collection agency and a customer must be specific,
intelligible and unambiguous. In the absence of a written agreement, unless the
conduct of the parties indicates a different mutual understanding, the
understanding of the customer concerning the terms of the agreement must govern
in any dispute between the customer and the collection agency.
2. Unless a written agreement between the
parties otherwise provides, any money collected on a claim, after court costs
have been recovered, must first be credited to the principal amount of the
claim. Any interest charged and collected on the claim must be allocated
pursuant to the agreement between the customer and the collection agency.
3. Except with the consent of its
customer, a collection agency shall not accept less than the full amount of a
claim in settlement of an assigned claim.
4. A collection agency shall, at the time
it remits to the customer the money it collected on behalf of the customer,
give each customer an accounting in writing of the money it collected on behalf
of the customer in connection with a claim.
5. This section does not apply to a debt
buyer who is not also collecting claims on behalf of parties who are not
affiliated with the debt buyer.
