Consumer debt collection remains a major source of complaints, lawsuits, and enforcement actions against financial institutions.  There are numerous debt collection laws and regulations – and numerous opportunities for errors.  Borrowers, their attorneys, and regulators are closely monitoring collection practices.  Therefore, it’s important to understand and implement proper collection procedures to avoid liability.  This webinar will explain the most common consumer collection mistakes and how to reduce your institution’s liability risk.
