What Compliance Engine gives you
Contact frequency limits
The Regulation F presumption of seven call attempts in seven days, and no call within seven days of a conversation, is enforced per debt. Stricter state caps and your own policies layer on top.
Time-of-day and time-zone rules
No contact before 8am or after 9pm in the debtor's location, with state-specific windows and Sunday and holiday rules applied automatically, using the best available location signal.
Validation notice timing
Model validation notices are generated with the itemization date, dispute deadline, and required disclosures, sent in the initial communication or within five days, and tracked through the validation period.
Cease and desist, dispute, and attorney flags
A written or verbal request to stop, a dispute, a bankruptcy filing, or notice of representation instantly freezes outreach on that account and routes it to the right queue.
Consent management
TCPA consent for texts and prerecorded calls is tracked per number with source and timestamp. Opt-outs by reply, keyword, or email link are honored in seconds across every channel.
Examiner-ready records
Every contact stores the message text, channel, timestamp, time zone, consent basis, and the list of rules evaluated. Export a complete account history in one click for audits and complaints.

How it works
- 01
Rules are loaded per account
When an account is placed, the engine resolves the applicable rule set from the debtor's state, the debt type, the original creditor, and your license footprint.
- 02
Every contact is checked before send
The AI outreach engine proposes a contact. The compliance engine evaluates frequency, timing, consent, content, and account status, and either approves, reschedules, or blocks it.
- 03
Status changes propagate instantly
A dispute, a stop request, a payment, or a bankruptcy notice updates the account in real time and changes what the engine will allow next.
Compliance as infrastructure, not training
Most compliance programs in collections rely on people: scripts, training, call monitoring, and quality assurance sampling after the fact. That approach fails in exactly the moments it matters, when an agent is tired, a dialer is misconfigured, or a state changes its rules. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Regulation F, effective since November 2021, made the problem harder by adding specific, testable requirements: the 7-in-7 call frequency presumption, limited-content messages, electronic communication opt-outs, and detailed validation notice content.
HL Hunt turns those rules into code that runs on every contact. The engine knows how many attempts have been made on each debt in the trailing seven days, when the last conversation happened, what consent exists for each phone number and email, what state the debtor is in and what that state adds on top of federal law, and whether the account carries any status that prohibits contact. No message, call, or letter is sent unless every applicable check passes, and the check results are stored with the contact record.
The result is a system that gets safer as it scales rather than riskier. More volume does not mean more agents to train and monitor; it means more contacts passing through the same deterministic checks. For creditors, that means the FDCPA and TCPA lawsuit exposure that normally comes with outsourcing collections is dramatically reduced. For agencies and law firms, it means clean audit trails that satisfy clients, regulators, and licensing boards.

Compliance Engine FAQ
Which regulations does the compliance engine cover?
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Regulation F, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act as it applies to furnishing and disputes, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act flags, the Bankruptcy Code automatic stay, and state debt collection statutes and licensing rules in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.
How does the engine know what state rules apply?
It resolves the debtor's location from the address on file, phone area code, and any updated location data, and applies the stricter of federal and state requirements. When location is uncertain, it applies the most conservative applicable window.
What happens when a debtor says stop?
A stop request by any channel, including a reply keyword, a sentence in a voice call, a portal setting, or a letter, freezes further outreach on that account within seconds, records the request, and routes the account to the appropriate review queue.
Can I add rules that are stricter than the law?
Yes. Many clients cap attempts below the federal presumption, restrict certain channels for certain debt types, or require human review before any settlement below a threshold. Your rules sit on top of the regulatory baseline.
Who is responsible for compliance, HL Hunt or me?
HL Hunt enforces the rules in software and maintains the regulatory rule sets. You remain the collector or creditor of record and retain legal responsibility, which is why every decision is logged and exportable. Many clients have their counsel review the configuration before go-live.
