Neither a collection agency nor any representative thereof who is not a duly licensed attorney shall engage in the practice of law.  As used in this section, "practice of law" includes the preparation of warrants or subpoenas.  A collection agency's representative is prohibited from appearing in court on behalf of a creditor except as required by court order or subpoena, and except to submit and explain claims in bankruptcy court.
