Collection Agency Warning Is Issued Out-of-S t a t e Operators Cannot Be Sued Here Says C II. Murphy Operations of non-resident col lection agencies are causing Claude 11. Murphy, state, real es- siate commissioner, considerable worry, he declared in a statement issued here yesterday. Most of these agencies operate hy mail or through fly-by-night solicitors. Murphy said. Their solicitations are centered largely on merchants, physicians, dent ists, hospitals and undertakers. although other business men were reported to have been vic timised in many instances. Murphy said few complaints had been received by the state real estate commissioner rela tive to the operations of licensed Oregon collection agencies since enactment of the 1933 legislative act placing these agencies under the state real estate department. Ltcenne Required The statute provides that all collection agencies operating in Oregon shall pay an annual li cense fee and post a bond of $3,000 to insure proper account ing for all moneys collected for their clients. Murphy declared that out-of- state collection agencies soliciting business in Oregon through mail orler channels could not be reached in the local courts. "These collection concerns make the most generous prom ises as to what they can do," Murphy said, "but after once ob taining accounts the client is ig nored and is ;unable to regain possession of the accounts turned over to these collectors." Murphy said Oregon business men could protect themselves by first ascertaining whether the collection agency is licensed to operate under the Oregon law.
