Do commercial collection agencies have to disclose all fees being charged to the debtor in FL?
Asked on Dec 06th, 2019 on Collections - Florida
More details to this question:
Our business was placed in a commercial collection agency for a past due bill which we recognize and we are willing to pay although the collection agency does not want to disclose a detailed breakdown of what they are charging under "collection fees" which are close to $5000 and this account is fresh in their office... Is there any state statues that mandate some sort of disclosure for these collection fees in FL?

No - commercial collections do not have the protections consumers have. Businesses are expected to retain lawyers to protect thier rights as partof running a business.
