,Q1. A Nevada collection agency is purchased by a holding company. The new owner
wishes to change the agency's name and add a branch office in Las Vegas. Which of
the following steps is required under NRS 649?
A. File an amendment to the license with the Commissioner and obtain approval before
operating under the new name or opening the branch.
B. Submit a new application for the branch office but operate under the new name
immediately upon filing the amendment.
C. Notify the Commissioner within 30 days after the change is effective; no prior
approval is needed.
D. Only the name change requires prior approval; branch offices are automatically
covered by the existing license.
Correct Answer: A. File an amendment to the license with the Commissioner and
obtain approval before operating under the new name or opening the branch.
Rationale: Under NRS 649.130 and related regulations, a collection agency must obtain
the Commissioner's approval for any change in name or location, including the addition of
a branch office. The agency must file an amendment and receive approval before
operating under the new name or at the new branch.
Why Wrong:
B - Operating under a new name before approval violates NRS 649, and a branch
office requires a separate license or endorsement, not just a filing.
C - Prior approval is required for name and branch changes; 30-day notification is
insufficient.
D - Branch offices are not automatically covered; they require specific approval.
Reference: NRS 649.130; NAC 649.220
Q2. A collection agency manager is reviewing a debtor's file and discovers that the
statute of limitations on the underlying debt has expired. The debtor has made a
partial payment of $50. Under Nevada law, which of the following is the most
accurate statement regarding the effect of this partial payment?
A. The partial payment revives the entire debt, and the statute of limitations begins
anew from the date of payment.
B. The partial payment does not revive the debt unless the debtor signs a written
acknowledgment of the balance.
C. The partial payment revives the statute of limitations only for the amount paid, not
the entire balance.
D. The partial payment has no effect because the statute of limitations had already fully
expired before the payment.
Correct Answer: B. The partial payment does not revive the debt unless the debtor
signs a written acknowledgment of the balance.
Page 3
, Rationale: In Nevada, a partial payment alone does not restart the statute of limitations on
a debt. A written acknowledgment of the debt is required to revive the limitations period
(NRS 11.390). The payment may be evidence of the debt but is not sufficient to create a
new obligation.
Why Wrong:
A - Nevada law requires more than a partial payment; a written acknowledgment is
necessary.
C - The revival applies to the entire debt if a written acknowledgment exists, not just
the amount paid.
D - Even after expiration, a partial payment can be relevant if there is a written
acknowledgment; the payment itself is not sufficient.
Reference: NRS 11.390; Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 82
Q3. A collection agency manager is preparing for a state examination. Which of the
following is a key difference between NRS 649 and the federal Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act (FDCPA) regarding the definition of a 'debt'?
A. The FDCPA defines debt as any obligation to pay arising from a transaction, while
NRS 649 is limited to consumer debts only.
B. NRS 649 applies to debts incurred for personal, family, or household purposes,
whereas the FDCPA covers all types of debts.
C. The FDCPA excludes debts owed to the original creditor, while NRS 649 includes
them.
D. Both statutes define debt identically, but NRS 649 adds an exception for business
debts.
Correct Answer: B. NRS 649 applies to debts incurred for personal, family, or
household purposes, whereas the FDCPA covers all types of debts.
Rationale: The FDCPA defines a debt as an obligation to pay arising from a transaction
for personal, family, or household purposes (15 U.S.C. § 1692a(5)). NRS 649 also focuses
on consumer debts, but it includes broader definitions of collection agency activities.
However, the key distinction is that the FDCPA's definition is limited to consumer debts,
while NRS 649 may also regulate collection of debts owed to the agency's clients, which
can include business debts, but the core definition remains consumer-oriented.
Why Wrong:
A - Both statutes focus on consumer debts; the FDCPA does not cover all debts.
C - The FDCPA applies to third-party collectors, but the definition of debt is still
consumer-oriented; original creditors are not covered by the FDCPA.
D - They are not identical; the FDCPA's definition is narrower.
