Find out who actually owns the account.
A collector, servicer, and debt owner are not always the same company. That affects what proof you should ask for.
Possible role: Private collection contractor and third-party collection agency
Coast describes collecting for federal and state agencies, colleges, and local governments. IRS and Treasury sources list it as a private agency that may contact people about government-assigned debts. That makes it a contractor collecting on the government's behalf — it doesn't own the debt.
-
For IRS tax debts, confirm that you received IRS Notice CP40 before responding to Coast.
-
