Collections have a negative effect on your credit score. If you fail to pay back your creditor or lender or miss out on instalments regularly, they may resort to a debt collection agency or sell your account to a debt buyer. However, they most likely will call you or send emails to inform you about selling your account to a debt buyer. Then, the debt collection agency will pursue you to recover the money from you, and you are legally obliged to make the payment.

When we talk about “compliance and security," most companies want to ensure that steps are being taken to protect what they value most – people, data, real or personal property, intellectual property, digital assets, or any other number of other things - and it’s more important than ever that safeguards are in place. Let’s step back and focus on the idea that no matter how complicated the compliance and security regime, it should be able to be distilled down to a checklist.

There’s a funny scene in the Pixar movie ‘Luca’ , where one of the main characters has labeled the negative voice in his head ‘Bruno’ – and, whenever he has thoughts about how he can’t do something, he yells ‘ Silenzio , Bruno!’ (they’re Italian), and so tamps down the fictional naysayer. I mean, it’s a great strategy, honestly. But, for many lawyers (and businesspeople generally), there ’s another, external voice, that can be highly bothersome.
