Most states allow for recording. In California both parties must consent, even when someone from out of state calls a California resident. This was ruled on last year in a complicated case in which a brokerage firm in Georgia was recording clients without telling them. In Georgia this is legal, but it was ruled that it was the same as if the firm were doing the business in California, so fell under California law.

Law Student,
You are correct,in a two party state both must know about the taping.

Law Student: thanks for taking part in this forum. I sense a consumer advocate in the making.

I think each state may deal with the recording laws differently. Usually judges will decide what the "right" outcome should be. Then they try to use the existing law to justify that outcome. For example, if a Georgia business is reaching into California to make money, they could be subject to the more stringent recording laws. However, in Texas, a debt collector contacting a Texas resident might be recorded by the Texas resident without knowing (one party consent).
Sometimes you just don't know.

And a thought on the best way to record. If it is a land line, RadioShack makes a basic recorder with a separate controller that will turn the recorder on only when the phone is of the hook. And it records great. Total cost is about $55.

Thank you texaslaywer. Yes I have always been interested in consumer issues. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel too few attorneys are interested in such things as violations of the fdcpa, defective procucts, etc. I was interested in taking part in these forums as a part of my education, learning etc.

Does this still work? I was trying to use it today and it didn't seem, to me at least, to be working.

NVM. I just read that it doesn't work on weekends.

this is what I would like to do...webcam video myself talking on the phone with these clowns with my phone on speaker. I'm in Florida can someone tell me if I must inform? They are so outrageously stupid, I want to put it on my website so all can see that I am actually WANTING to pay the debt they just won't take anything but the full amount all at one time,which is not even correct. thanks all
BTW you can use a cheap voice recorder and put your phone on speaker very easy and inexpensive way to record calls.

Being that I live in Florida, do I inform the collector I will be recording, or do I ask them after they refuse to cease and desist?
