Attorney General Opinion - Convenience Fees - March 15, 2010 The Collection Agency Board requested an opinion from the Office of the Attorney General regarding whether collection agencies operating in Wyoming are authorized to charge a convenience fee to Wyoming debtors.  The Opinion discusses the convenience fee issue and determines that, "since a convenience fee is not authorized by Wyoming law, a convenience fee may only be charged to a debtor if the debt arose in a non-consumer credit transaction and if the underlying agreement creating the debt expressly provides for such fees."   Feds Set Rules for Collectors Calling on Relatives of Deceased Debtors.  Collecting is OK, but Must be Transparent, Guidelines Say.       Article published at Creditcards.com July 26, 2011         Newsletters     June 2001 Edition   .pdf format     January 2002 Edition  .pdf format     June 2002 Edition  .pdf format     January 2003 Edition  .pdf format     June 2003 Edition   .pdf format     January 2004 Edition   .pdf format   Press Releases Solicitations for Collection Services  -  August 18, 2005              .pdf file   Informational brochures Consumer's Rights Under Wyoming Statutes and Rules and Regulations     .pdf format Wyoming Collection Agency Board - Information pertaining to the Board and to obtaining a license to operate a collection agency in the State of Wyoming       .pdf format   Federal Trade Commission - Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
