New York State Debt Collectors Throw Support Behind Cuomo

Buffalo, NY — In response to New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s recent announcement that his office brought criminal charges against 12 debt collectors in the Buffalo area, the New York State Collectors Association (NYSCA) reaffirmed its ongoing support of Cuomo’s actions.

"We applaud the Attorney General’s actions," said NYSCA President Frank Roa. "As professional members of a state (NYSCA) and national trade association (ACA International) where high ethical standards and integrity are hallmarks of membership, there’s no room for the rogue collectors that give the rest of us a bad name. Just like consumers, we want to see the bad guys in this industry punished and put out of business. Every consumer deserves to be treated with dignity and respect – period."
