Mini-Miranda

The disclosure debt collectors must give identifying the call as an attempt to collect a debt.

The mini-Miranda is the disclosure that debt collectors in the United States are generally required to give, identifying themselves as a debt collector and stating that the call is an attempt to collect a debt and that any information obtained will be used for that purpose. It takes its nickname from the better-known Miranda warning.

For collection teams, confirming the mini-Miranda was delivered on every call is a recurring compliance task, which is why automated disclosure detection is valuable. This is general information, not legal advice; confirm your obligations with counsel.
