Total consumer debt is at an all-time high. American households hold $18.036 trillion of debt, averaging $105,056 per family. With a jobless rate of four percent, a good percentage of that debt is being pursued in collections. While some debt collectors comply with the state and federal debt collection laws, many do not. This session will provide a general overview of the process involved in evaluating Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) claims and how to maximize the client’s recovery.
If you have limited knowledge of the FDCPA and want to engage in this practice area, this webinar is for you. It is also a great primer for those who represent consumers so they can quickly evaluate violations of the FDCPA.
What You Will Learn:
-
- How to evaluate clients
- How to evaluate defendants
- How to evaluate FDCPA claims
- How to spot non-FDCPA claims
