Is outsourcing collection legal?
Legal analysis: Entrustment itself is legal. However, the specific situation depends on whether the scope of entrustment and door-to-door collection are illegal. The agent shall handle the entrusted affairs according to the instructions of the principal. If it is necessary to change the client's instructions, it shall be approved by the client; If it is difficult to get in touch with the client due to an emergency, the agent shall properly handle the entrusted affairs, but shall report the situation to the client in time afterwards.

Legal basis: Article 922 of the General Principles of Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the trustee shall handle the entrusted affairs according to the instructions of the client. If it is necessary to change the client's instructions, it shall be approved by the client; If it is difficult to get in touch with the client due to an emergency, the agent shall properly handle the entrusted affairs, but shall report the situation to the client in time afterwards.

Article 926 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), when the trustee-trader enters into a contract with a third party in his own name, the third party does not know the agency relationship between the trustee-trader and the client, and the trustee-trader fails to perform the obligations to the client due to the third party, so that the client can exercise the rights of the trustee-trader to the third party. However, the third party knows that the client will not conclude a contract when concluding a contract with the trustee.

If the agent is unable to perform his obligations to the third party due to the principal's reasons, the agent shall disclose the principal to the third party, so the third party may choose the agent or the principal as the counterpart to claim rights, but the third party may not change the selected counterpart.

If the trustor exercises the rights of the trustee against a third party, the third party may claim its defense against the trustee from the trustor. If the third party chooses the trustor as the counterpart, the trustor may claim its defense against the trustee and the trustee's defense against the third party.
