What would your answers be?
I think I am a great collector but my 5 federal laws may be different than others,and I dont know the most common forms of credit activity.
I would love to see what you think a good collector is.

I listed mine above, but would also like to add to that: compassion and patience.
What are your 5 federal laws?

I didnt see where you listed your 5 important federal laws. Also, what are the most common forms of credit activity?, buying a car?, house? etc.
My top 5 Federal Laws are, You cannot harrass or use violence,can not call at unusual hours, can not misrepresent the debt, can not contact others , firends etc to collect money .
Look forward to your response

thank you
