Colorado Office Share - Registered Agent Services
Stokes & Wolf, P.C. provides office share and registered agent services through our Colorado office for your
collection agency to enable you to comply with collection agency licensing requirements in accordance with the
Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Our office currently serves as the Colorado office for over 50 out of
state collection agencies thus ensuring complete compliance with the collection agency licensing requirements. As
discussed below, we would likely be providing an upgrade over your current Colorado office share and registered
agent services agreement.
In 2010, House Bill 10-1222 continued the collection agency licensing requirements of the Colorado Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act that your collection agency must maintain a Colorado collection office if you are going to
do business here. The bill also requires that you include your in-state collection agency office address and phone
number in your written communications to Colorado debtors and also requires that your in-state collection agency
office accept debtor payments made at that office. Rule 1.09(1)(c) and Rule 2.01(2) of the Rules of the
Administrator, Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Act implement these new collection agency licensing
requirements.
As a result of these changes, more consumer debtors are calling the in-state collection agency office and coming
in with payments or to discuss the account. This creates risk for the in-state collection agency office personnel of
violating the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. It is
critical that in-state collection agency office personnel be fully knowledgeable about and able to comply with these
Acts since both your collection agency and the in-state collection agency office provider could be sued for in-state
collection agency violations. This collection agency liability for violations of the Colorado Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act is stated in Rule 1.09(2).
About Our Law Firm & Staff (Colorado Office Share - Registered Agent Services)
Our law firm’s practice has for many years been limited to commercial and consumer debt collection so our staff is fully
knowledgeable about both the Federal and Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Acts. We have served as a local
Colorado collection office to out-of-state collection agencies since 1994 without one complaint about a violation of the
Acts. We have a personable office share staff for dealing with your debtors both on the phone and in person and
who debtors find most helpful. Our Agreement For Colorado Office Sharing For Out Of State Collection Agencies
provides that we will hold you harmless for any of our office’s violations of either the Federal Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act or the Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Dealing With Your Debtors (Colorado Office Share - Registered Agent Services)
To deal with your debtors who choose to call the Colorado collection office, our phone system routes that call to a
voicemail answering with the name of your company. This is possible because when you use our office, we will assign
you a Colorado office share phone number unique to your collection agency. The voicemail directs the debtor to press 1
to speak to the next available agent, which will then route the call directly to your office without us having to speak to
your debtor. The second voice mail option directs any debtors wishing to make an appointment in your Denver,
Colorado office to press 2, which will ring another line in our office which we will answer to set up an appointment for the
debtors to come in to make a payment or to discuss the account in person. If they want to discuss the account, we will
of course conference in your collector, who will handle the discussion. If they make a payment, we e-mail you
immediately to advise you of the payment so that you can post the payment by the next business day as required by
Rule 2.12. This sophisticated phone system results in your debtors reaching your home office instantly the same as if
they had called your office directly but still enables the few debtors wishing to meet in person at the office to do so.
Your Local Colorado Office (Colorado Office Share - Registered Agent Services)
Our office also complies with the collection agency requirements Rule 1.09(a) requiring that we post signs or directories
displaying all office share collection agencies for whom our office provides a local Colorado office. We provide such a
directory at our office suite and on the lobby building directory. In talking to other office providers, we find that they have
not been complying with this requirement. This failure could expose you to liability.
Fees For Your Local Colorado Office (Colorado Office Share - Registered Agent Services)
We would like to provide you with your Colorado office (office share arrangement) starting upon the termination of any
current contract you have for an in-state office. Our fee is $1200.00 per year payable January 1st. We will prorate the
charge for a partial year. For no additional charge, Stokes & Wolf, P.C. will serve as the registered agent for service for
your business in Colorado.
Please call our office with any questions regarding our office share opportunities. We will provide you with a copy of our
standard contract if you call us or use our email form specific for this purpose.
