Michigan compliance specifics
Michigan's Collection Practices Act (Mich. Comp. Laws §445.252) extends FDCPA-equivalent restraints to first-party businesses collecting their own invoices, not just third-party agencies. Painting contractors in Michigan must avoid prohibited contact, harassment, and misrepresentation when calling their own customers about unpaid work. Sub-tier painting contractors working under a GC must serve a Notice of Furnishing within 20 days of first furnishing to preserve mechanic's lien rights. Michigan allows 90 days from last furnishing to record the lien claim with the county register of deeds. Syntharra applies MCPA-compliant calling practices and enforces the federal TCPA call window automatically.
