Is Foster & Monroe a scam?

They’re legit. Foster & Monroe can be considered a legitimate collections company due to the fact that it has been in business for 8 years .

Who does Foster & Monroe collect for?

Foster & Monroe does not cite on their website which specific area of collections that they specialize in, or what specific companies they work for, it only leaves consumers and clients with a list of their services which include skip tracing, asset search, public records, and employment. Because there is little information available on this collections website, it is wisest to confirm which debt is specifically owed and to whom when inquiring about your debt. Due to the outsourcing of debt, inquiring as soon as possible is the smartest move to make because one collection account can turn into many reporting on your credit file if the debt is not dealt with.
