Receiving calls from debt collectors using high-pressure “asset recovery” tactics can feel overwhelming. If Central Management Group is contacting you, understanding their performance-driven, commission-based model can help protect your rights.
Central Management Group operates with in-office “Asset Recovery Specialists” working toward monthly performance goals. Their commission structure creates pressure to maximize recovery.

Who Is Central Management Group
Central Management Group LLC is a debt collection agency operating with in-office teams. They brand collectors as “Asset Recovery Specialists” instead of traditional debt collectors.
Their model centers on performance-based goals with commission structures. Collectors work Monday through Friday toward specific monthly targets with a “go-getter mentality” through direct phone-based communication.
While they market training and professionalism, their performance structure creates conflicts between recovery quotas and consumer rights. Commission-based compensation may pressure collectors to prioritize numbers over compliance.
Is Central Management Group a Scam
No, Central Management Group is not a scam. It is a legitimate debt collection agency. However, their performance-based, commission-driven model raises serious concerns.
When collectors earn commissions and must meet monthly quotas, this creates pressure for aggressive tactics. The “Asset Recovery Specialist” title describes standard debt collection work with performance quotas.
Their “go-getter” mentality suggests an aggressive recovery culture. Speaking with a lawyer does not restart your debt.
Signs Central Management Group May Be Violating Your Rights
Performance-driven debt collectors must still follow federal law. You do not need to owe the debt to have rights. These are the signs Central Management Group may be violating your rights:
- Commission-based pressure tactics: When collectors earn based on what they recover, this incentivizes aggressive behavior. Pressure to meet monthly quotas may lead to harassment or false threats.
- “Go-getter” mentality crossing legal lines: Marketing aggressive recovery attitudes may encourage collectors to exceed FDCPA boundaries. If their “performance culture” prioritizes goals over your rights, this creates violations.
- Asset recovery language masking collection: Calling themselves “Asset Recovery Specialists” instead of debt collectors may confuse consumers about their rights. This rebranding doesn’t exempt them from FDCPA protections.
- Phone-based pressure campaigns: Emphasis on direct phone communication may lead to excessive calls. Multiple daily calls to meet performance targets violate FDCPA frequency limits.
- Professionalism claims masking aggression: Marketing training and professionalism while operating commission-based quotas creates contradiction. Professional claims don’t prevent quota-driven harassment.
- Third-party contact to meet goals: Pressure to recover may lead collectors to contact family, employers, or neighbors beyond legal location purposes.
Requesting validation does not admit liability.
How Federal Law Protects You From Performance-Driven Collection
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by aggressive calls from collectors working toward quotas, federal law provides protections that can bring relief.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits harassment, false threats, and deceptive practices regardless of performance goals or commission structures. Federal law does not allow exceptions for quota-driven agencies.
When collectors earn based on recovery and face monthly targets, courts recognize this incentivizes violations. Performance pressure doesn’t excuse harassment. If Central Management Group violated FDCPA while meeting goals, you may recover up to $1,000 in statutory damages.
How to Stop Central Management Group Harassment
If Central Management Group is contacting you, these steps can help you regain control and reduce stress:
- Request debt validation in writing: Demand proof of debt, original creditor, complete account details, and their authority to collect. Send via certified mail. Their performance quotas don’t override your validation rights.
- Document call frequency: Track every call – date, time, caller name, and content. If they call multiple times daily to meet quotas, this creates FDCPA violation evidence. Performance targets don’t justify excessive calls.
- Challenge “asset recovery” confusion: If they use “Asset Recovery Specialist” language to avoid identifying as debt collectors, document this. Rebranding doesn’t eliminate FDCPA obligations.
- Question commission-based threats: If collectors make threats about legal action or consequences, note whether they connect this to pressure to pay quickly. Commission-driven urgency may constitute false threats.
- Verify professionalism claims: If their behavior contradicts professional marketing, document the gap. Training claims mean nothing if actual practices involve harassment.
- Send cease and desist: Order them to stop all contact via certified mail. Performance goals don’t override your right to cease contact.

How to Remove Central Management Group from Your Credit Report
If you see Central Management Group on your credit report, here is how to remove it:
- Challenge quota-driven reporting: If they reported without validation to meet performance targets, dispute with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Commission pressure may lead to premature or inaccurate reporting.
- Use commission structure evidence: Performance-based models create an incentive to report quickly for pressure. If they reported before proper validation, their commission structure explains why.
- Demand validation documentation: If you requested validation and they couldn’t provide it despite claiming “asset recovery” expertise, inform credit bureaus. Unverified debts must be removed.
- Question “asset recovery” authority: If they reported as “asset recovery” without proper debt collection licensing, challenge their authority to report.
- Document harassment evidence: If their collection included quota-driven excessive calls or pressure tactics, include this when disputing their reporting accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Central Management Group
1. What does “Asset Recovery Specialist” mean?
It’s a rebranded title for debt collectors. The work is standard collection but the title may confuse consumers about their FDCPA rights. Federal law applies equally regardless of job titles.
2. Does their commission structure make violations more likely?
Yes. When collectors earn based on recovery amounts and face monthly quotas, this creates pressure to use aggressive tactics or make false threats to maximize results.
3. Can they call me multiple times per day to meet their goals?
No. Performance quotas don’t justify excessive calls. If they contact you repeatedly to meet targets, this may violate FDCPA frequency limits.
4. What if the collector mentions their performance goals during calls?
Document this immediately. Mentioning quota pressure or monthly targets when demanding payment may evidence that commission structure drives their aggressive behavior. Call +1-844-638-1122.
5. Does their “go-getter” culture excuse aggressive tactics?
No. Marketing an aggressive recovery mentality doesn’t exempt them from FDCPA. If their performance culture encourages violations, this makes violations systematic, not excusable.
6. Can I sue Central Management Group for quota-driven harassment?
Yes. If their performance-based model led to FDCPA violations, their commission structure becomes evidence of systematic violations rather than isolated incidents.
7. Does requesting validation hurt their performance numbers?
That’s not your concern. Your legal right to validation doesn’t change because they face quotas. If they resist validation to protect their numbers, this may violate the FDCPA.
