SUMMARY:Turning Debt Defense Cases into a Consumer Practice
DESCRIPTION:As advocates representing consumer collection defendants\, we have all heard about how to use the FDCPA to turn the tables on debt buyers. But do you know how to turn the tables on other types of collection plaintiffs using other weapons in the consumer arsenal? An auto loan deficiency case\, for example\, can present a variety of potentially lucrative counterclaims for a consumer defendant. \nThis webinar will help you look at your consumer debt defense cases from other angles so that you recognize opportunities to bring claims under federal statutes such as the Truth in Lending Act (TILA)\, as well as state versions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and state Unfair and Deceptive Practices (UDAP) acts. You will also gain an understanding of the significance of the FTC Holder Notice. By the end of the webinar\, you will have expanded your debt defense resources and learned how to win your clients (and yourself) money by going on the offense in debt collection actions. \n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow to spot a variety of affirmative claims in your client’s collection case.\nHow affirmative claims help you and your client make money.\nWhether to bring counterclaims or file an affirmative case.\n\n\nSpeakers\nSuzanne Begnoche represents plaintiffs in matters involving identity theft\, security breaches\, the Fair Credit Reporting Act\, the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act\, and North Carolina’s fair debt collection laws. Prior to going into private practice in Chapel Hill\, North Carolina\, she was a staff attorney handling consumer matters at Legal Aid of North Carolina’s Durham and Wilson offices. She is a past Chair of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice-Consumer Areas of Practice Section. She is also an active member of the National Association of Consumer Advocates and the North Carolina Bar Association’s Bankruptcy Section. She is a graduate of Duke University and the University of North Carolina School of Law. \nLynne Coleman represents consumers who have debt issues and consumer complaints.  She is a federally designated Debt Relief Agency under the United States Bankruptcy Laws.

SUMMARY:Finance Company Liability in Auto Fraud Litigation
DESCRIPTION:The sharp and outright fraudulent business practices of many auto dealerships are well known and are the subject of much consumer litigation. And\, as vehicle financing has grown\, particularly for sub-prime auto loans\, questions of finance company or “holder” liability have become central to auto fraud litigation. Rather than accept the caps on liability set forth in the federal and many state rules\, practitioners around the country have developed theories of direct liability\, seeking to hold assignees liable in their own right.This webinar is for consumer advocates handling or considering auto fraud litigation\, who want to learn more about using the FTC Holder Rule and statutory holder liability in their own state\, as well as alternative theories to holder liability\, to maximize the protection and remedies available to their clients victimized by fraud in auto lending. \nWhat You Will Learn\n\nCombating defense arguments against Holder liability for Finance Companies\nUsing the Holder Rule and state holder liability statutes to expand client’s claims\nUnderstanding the statutory caps on holder liability and their impact on prosecuting claims\nUsing UDAP\, RICO\, and other statutes to identify and expand finance company liability for wrongful actions.\n\nPresenters\nPeter T. Lane is a consumer advocate in Massachusetts and New York focusing on auto fraud\, consumer debt\, and employee and other civil rights. A large part of his practice involves state and federal litigation of UDAP\, TILA\, FDCPA\, and RICO claims. \nDaniel A. Schlanger is a consumer lawyer focused on class action and other significant affirmative consumer litigation\, predominantly in federal court. Since 2007\, Dan has headed the consumer protection practice at Schlanger & Schlanger\, LLP\, which maintains offices in Manhattan and Westchester County\, New York. \nPurchase\n\n\n\n\nPrivate member rate: $40.00\n\n\nNon-member rate: $75.00

SUMMARY:Trees and Fruit: How Fee Agreements May Change the Taxation of Attorneys' Fees
DESCRIPTION:The structure of fee agreements plays a significant role in the taxation of attorneys’ fees. The Supreme Court has held that traditional contingency fee agreements constitute impermissible assignments of taxable income (“fruit”) from clients to their attorneys. The NACA Tax Initiative\, however\, has been exploring an as-of-yet untested theory that a nontraditional structure for fee agreements—transfer of the income-generating asset (“tree”) rather than the income itself (“fruit”)—may eliminate clients’ tax liabilities on attorneys’ fees paid under fee-shifting statutes. \n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow to understand this nontraditional structure for fee agreements\nHow you may be able to address clients’ tax liabilities using a draft of model language for fee agreements\nWhat NACA’s Tax Initiative is doing next to test the new fee agreement\n\n\nPresenter\nAyalon Eliach is the director of NACA’s Tax Initiative. Prior to beginning his work with NACA\, Mr. Eliach practiced tax law with the law firms Roberts & Holland LLP and Paul\, Weiss\, Rifkind\, Wharton & Garrison LLP. In his practice\, Mr. Eliach has advised public and private companies\, investment funds\, and individuals regarding complex financial transactions and represented them in controversies with federal and state taxing authorities. Mr. Eliach holds a J.D.\, cum laude\, from Harvard Law School and a B.A.\, summa cum laude\, from Yale University.

SUMMARY:Let's Get Ethical

SUMMARY:How to Build Your Practice One Hour at a Time
DESCRIPTION:If you could get paid for all the time you give away\, wouldn’t you? As consumer lawyers\, we often feel we have to give our time generously because our clients and potential clients are usually in terrible financial straits; but not every consumer in need of assistance is a pro bono case. This webinar will show you how to capture the income you are giving away every day from people you talk to who you’d like to help\, but don’t think you can because their case isn’t “ripe\,” or because they say they can’t afford to pay for your help. \nWe will discuss how you can implement the “paid consultation” model by identifying consumers who contact your office who are appropriate for such a consultation. We will discuss how to get the phone to ring and how to efficiently determine whether the caller has a problem that you can charge to assist with; how to get paid for your time and information- and earn respect and appreciation for doing so; and how to convert these one-shot-deal clients into clients who are the gift that keep on giving. \n\nPresenter\nAttorney Sarah Poriss is a 2002 graduate of the University of Connecticut School of Law and was an associate at Consumer Law Group in Rocky Hill\, Connecticut for four years. Sarah went solo in 2006 and now handles debt defense\, foreclosure defense\, FDCPA and a variety of other consumer matters. She is a regular volunteer at monthly foreclosure prevention seminars sponsored by the CT Fair Housing Center and CT Department of Banking and is regularly invited to speak at local high schools\, corporations\, UConn Law School’s consumer law class and local non-profit agencies about credit and debt issues. In 2006 and 2007\, she participated in the Money Conference For Women’s Money Mentor program and in 2011 she received the Hartford County Bar Association’s Pro Bono award.

SUMMARY:Basic Car Loan Math
DESCRIPTION:Even if you know the basics of calculating monthly payments on ordinary car loans\, this webinar is designed to start with the basics\, and then look at some of the “tweeks” that dealers use in structuring a deal that can impact true cost of borrowing to a consumer.Learn how to handle irregular payments structures such as bi-weekly/semi-monthly payments\, and how to identify the impact these have on the actual APR of a loan\, such as deferred down payments/pick-up payments\, deferred first payments/balloon payments\, using APRWIN (free software from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency). Learn the skills needed to identify loans that may appear on their face to comply with TILA and state lending laws\, but that are intentionally misleading in the way that they are disclosed to the consumer borrower\, or otherwise not in compliance with the law. \nThe goal of this webinar is to teach skills to “screen” loans that are likely to have non-compliance issues during the client intake process\, and show you some techniques to analyze these loans without having to go hire a financial expert for advice. The webinar will provide step-by-step instructions for using the APRWIN software to analyze different example loans\, and how to enter these unusual loan structures into the software\, and what to look for to identify non-compliance issues. Don’t worry… NO “HEAVY DUTY” MATH SKILLS are needed to be able to benefit from this webinar! \n\nPresenter\nDana L. Manner is a Lecturer in Finance at the University of Miami\, School of Business Administration since 2002\, and opened his solo practice in Miami during 2009. Focusing his practice on autofraud\, he became a NACA member in 2010.
