Membership Requirements
A third party collection business may apply for regular membership in CAC by submitting the following:

• Membership application

• Membership dues renewal remittance form 2008-2009 Membership Year

• Copy of business license

Membership Dues Remittance and Fees  
In accordance with Article III, section 4 of the bylaws of the California Association of Collectors, Inc., the dues of all members of the Association are payable annually, in advance, on the first day of the new membership year. Full payment for one year is due upon application to CAC. Dues for the following year will be prorated according to Article III, Section 4 of CAC’s bylaws.

Basis for Computation of Dues: Dues of members of the Association shall be based upon the total number of employees of such members, actively engaged in the collection agency activity, whether such employees are employed full-time or part-time, regardless of capacity. For the purpose of fixing such dues, the term "employee" shall include the owner, if a sole proprietorship; each partner, if a partnership; outside salespeople, solicitors and collectors, even though employed as independent contractors.

Your voluntary investment in the future of the collection industry covers membership in both CAC and ACA. The former retains no monies due the latter. Membership in each organization is required. Included in your CAC dues is $30.00 for an annual subscription to Collector's Ink. Additional copies are available for a $50 annual subscription fee.

Contributions or gifts to ACA and CAC are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for income tax purposes. However, they may be tax deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses subject to restrictions imposed as a result of the Association's lobbying activities. ACA Inc. estimates that the nondeductible portion of your ACA dues -- the portion which is allocable to lobbying -- is 25 percent. CAC estimates the nondeductible portion to be 27 percent. Contributions or gifts to CAC's L&L Fund are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for income tax purposes. CAC estimates the nondeductible portion of L&L contributions to be 10 percent.
