Join us to hear about some of the recent issues the Federal Trade Commission has been seeing in debt collection matters. These issues include phantom debt, unlawful third-party communications, collectors not disclosing their identity, and other misrepresentations regarding the nature of the debt. Staff from the FTC will talk about recent cases involving violations of the FTC Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Staff will also discuss how to spot violations of the FDCPA, and what consumers can do to protect themselves from debt collection scams. The webinar will also cover the Credit Practices Rule and provide other updates of initiatives coming out of the Federal Trade Commission. This session will be a great introduction for those new to these issues and are looking to get a good update and for those who may be more knowledgeable, but interested in the Federal Trade Commission’s work.
