Update on the CFPB's Proposed Debt Collection Rule




Consumer Finance Monitor show

Summary: We look at industry and consumer comments and perspectives on key issues, including the proposal's potential implications for creditors collecting their own debts through UDAAP/UDAP and state collection laws, its approach to e-communications and "meaningful attorney involvement," and whether a final rule should address information transfers and file reviews or collecting time-barred debt. We also share predictions for what a final rule will contain and suggestions to reduce risk in first-party collections.
