Consumer collections used to be rather straightforward. When a consumer went delinquent their lender typically picked up the telephone and the parties came up with a plan to bring the account current. However, times have changed and it is more difficult than ever to simply reach out to a delinquent customer to discuss their account. Now, consumers are ignoring your phone calls or not giving you consent to contact them on their cell phones. Consumer attorneys are parsing your collection letters to see if they are in violation of a myriad of consumer protection laws, and individuals are employing the services of out-of-state debt settlement/consolidation companies.

During this informative 90-minute presentation there will be a wide-ranging discussion of topics faced by all lenders engaging in the world of consumer collections. These topics will range from early default prevention and resolution tips to enhancing collections through the legal process. Other areas to be discussed include specific topics such as repossession letter requirements, SCRA protections, TCPA due diligence, FCRA compliance and the impact of bankruptcy on the collections process.
