Course description

Fundamentals of Debt Collections Law

Gain the knowledge you need to navigate the dangers of collecting consumer debts and reduce the risk of harmful lawsuits.

Learn how to stay compliant when dealing with debt collection laws. With both the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and very active consumer protection plaintiffs lawyers looking for money, thirdparty debt collectors and especially collection lawyers are consistent and open targets for claims debt collection abuses and noncompliance issues. Even nominal violations of the FDCPA or TCPA can lead to class action litigation and expose debt collectors to large damages. This course will provide you with the knowledge you need to navigate the dangers of collecting consumer debts and provide you with collection techniques and strategies to reduce the risk of frivolous or harmful lawsuits.
