In January 2025, the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) issued a Notice of Change of Effective Date (Notice), further delaying the effective date for the final rules relating to debt collectors (Rules) to October 1, 2025.

According to the DCWP, the proposed amendments clarify that the definition of "debt collector" under the proposed rules will continue to include those collecting debts they originated. The amendments also update the effective date of the previously adopted rules.

In September, the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) requested comment on proposed amendments to its rules relating to debt collectors, which could significantly change the requirements and procedures concerning debt collection with New York City consumers. DCWP had previously proposed amendments in November 2022, which were not finalized.
