We’re often asked about the top debt collectors in the country, so we’ve been doing a countdown for the top 20. We’ve discussed CBCS, RJM Acquisitions, and Asset Acceptance. Today we’re covering number 17, Creditors Interchange.

Creditors Interchange has been around since 1960, and is located in Buffalo, New York. They collect on behalf of credit card companies, banks, universities, cities, and auto lenders. The company does typical collection activities, but they also collect on dismissed bankrupt accounts, and conduct business-to-business collections. Creditors Interchange also buys debt that’s been written off by original creditors. A quick Google search returns results that link to consumers expressing anxiety about threatening calls they’ve received from CI’s collectors.
