Is the debt collection company legal

Legal analysis: Whether it is legal or not depends on which unit is engaged in debt collection and how to collect debts. If you are engaged in debt collection in a legally established unit and take legal means to collect debts, it is legal work and generally safe. It is illegal to engage in debt collection activities in an enterprise without obtaining a business license or beyond its business scope, and collect debts in a way that is not allowed by law (such as restricting the debtor's personal freedom, intimidation, beating, etc.). ).
