The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently proposed a 538-page rule implementing Regulation F, pursuant to its authority under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Dodd-Frank Act.
Join us for a discussion on several key aspects of the Proposed Rule:
- Coverage: confirmed successor in interest; personal representative of a deceased consumer’s estate
- Conduct and communication: time, place, and frequency restrictions; text and email requirements; resolution of the “voicemail paradox”
- Disclosure requirements: debt validation notice; disclosure safe harbor for use of the CFPB’s model form; electronic disclosures
- Interplay with state debt-collection laws; applicability to first-party collection
Speakers: Nanci Weissgold, Anoush Garakani, and Ross Speier
