The collection of debts and judgments is a challenge for most businesses even when the economy is healthy. However, during times of economic slowdown and recession, you will face a higher volume of slow-pay and no-pay problems with both vendors and customers. This teleconference is designed to provide an overview of the Federal Fair Debt Practices Act; an explanation of key terms and definitions under the FDCPA; practical guidance on how the FDCPA applies to collection letters; a discussion of recent cases involving claims arising from the use, or misuse of collection letters; and practical forms and checklists for ensuring compliance with the FDCPA. This teleconference is critical for attorneys and businesses who want to implement successful collection procedures, while avoiding claims under the FDCPA.
