# §2506.8. What action might the Corporation take to collect debts?

- (a) There are a number of actions that the Corporation is permitted to take when attempting to collect debts. These actions include:
  - (1) Salary, tax refund or administrative offset, or administrative wage garnishment (see subparts [C](/cfr/45/subpartC.md), [D](/cfr/45/subpartD.md), E, and F of this part respectively); or
  - (2) **Using the services of private collection contractors.**
