With the development of economy, there are more and more economic disputes, and so we have involved in a more complicated debtor-creditor relationship. Under this situation, how to protect the interest of creditor is going to be a big problem.This thesis will present a case of debt collection, which enforced by nongovernment group. And go through with this case, considering why this kind of debt collection has be needed, how debt collectors finish their work and succeed in it. Furthermore, it is necessary to think the influence of debt collection. Shall we regard it as a product of the interaction between traditional Chinese culture and the modernity.All the questions above will be discussed in this thesis. Firstly, we will focus on the background of debt collection. There are three main reasons for the exist of debt collection:the need of market; the deletion of government’s credit; and the tradition of Chinese society. All these are made debt collection possible. Secondly, I describe the structure of debt collection, and then analysis the practice of the debt collector, in order to figure out what kind of resource is used by them and how they carry out tasks. Thirdly, I will go on with the question that what is the situation of debt collection during the social transformation.For the reason of social control, the government has a dual-attitude to debt collection. Under this situation, it makes the debt collector depends on the government, and willingly to integrate in hierarchy system. They also have dual-attitude to law and violence, they need to attach themselves to law, but also need to take advantage of the loophole, on one hand, they had to use violence, but also had to distance themselves to violence, on the other hand. They switch into the market, government and society, find the balance between subsistence and autonomy. At least, in this case, we can say that the debt collectors want to find a surviving amongst market, government and society. They need to find the legitimacy for themselves, they had to use the law, but they also need to do not disregard of law; they had to use the violence, but they also need to distance from it; they had to conform with the market, and find a way to substance.In conclusion, duding the transformation of Chinese society, there is a period of transition from traditional credit institution to modern ones, in which the informal credit institutions which based on the morality, kinship and lineage are decayed, and the new credit system which constructed by contract and law are not already established. With this kind of background, I will propose that, at now, the debt collection is a suitable way for the masses to get their money back, and for the debt collectors, this model is a strategy for their substance, development and getting the identity from government and society. It is crucial to the construct of credit system.
