Gain an understanding of the rules and limitations under the FDCPA and commonly litigated issues.
Debt collectors remain at the center of litigation and regulatory scrutiny, and this scrutiny is likely to increase as a result of current economic conditions. Collectors are subject to extensive rules and limitations on communications with debtors and third parties under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This topic will discuss the latest laws and regulations pertaining to debt collection communications, whether by phone or through the mail. The information will address the best practices and procedures for such communications, to avoid common risks and pitfalls that lead to litigation exposure. The information will also address common claims and remedies for violations of the FDCPA relating to debt collection communications.
