New Cell Phone ID Service by Datalure Helps Address Regulatory and Legal Risks

Datalure, a division of CCS-Adplus, LLC and a leading provider of collection information solutions, today announced a new service to help companies reduce expenses and risks associated with dialing cellular phone numbers.

“Companies collecting debt are facing new challenges associated with a rise in consumers’ use of cell phones, and the restrictions being imposed on the collection’s industry related to use of these numbers.  It has become critical that collection companies identify when a cell phone number is in its possession before attempting to reach a debtor to ensure compliance with laws that restrict how these numbers can be utilized to contact debtors and avoid steep fines and litigation,” said Will Turner, Datalure’s Director of Sales.

For over 15 years, Datalure and its sister division, Infolure have provided various phone and address indicators to help creditors and financial institutions comply with industry regulations and improve their contact campaigns.  Datalure’s announcement of this new service fulfills a new need in the collection’s marketplace.
