Vendor Oversight and Compliance

Every agency and law firm that touches your accounts is a vendor you are responsible for. Paragon carries that oversight for you across the whole network, as part of one partnership that runs your entire post-charge-off recovery. Our own controls are SOC 2 Type II certified, and we hold every partner to the same standards.

Checked before they get an account

Licensing, bar status and insurance (general liability, errors and omissions, cyber) are verified before any agency or law firm joins the network.

Audited every year

Every partner is audited at onboarding and annually, with ongoing reviews of inventory, balances, payments and data security.

Rules that apply to everyone

FDCPA, state and federal requirements, mandated training, subcontractor controls and 7-year document retention apply across the network.

One oversight file

Instead of defending dozens of vendor relationships, your team has one accountable partner and one set of records to show examiners.

Frequently asked questions

What does the CFPB expect for oversight of debt collection vendors?

Creditors are expected to oversee the third parties that collect for them, including due diligence, monitoring and corrective action. We run that oversight across every agency and law firm we manage.

Is a lender responsible for its collection vendors’ conduct?

Regulators hold lenders accountable for how their vendors treat consumers. That is why every partner in our network is vetted, trained and audited.
