Learning Objective

  • Analyze the requirements of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act
  • Identify best practices for collecting debts.
  • Recall how collection agencies and attorneys collect debts.
  • Review the collection process.

Course Overview

Most businesses have experienced customers who didn’t pay their invoices on time. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) has recently seen increased enforcement to curb abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. 

The FDCPA sets standards for acceptable conduct in debt collection, granting consumers rights to verify debt accuracy and cease collection contacts. Under the new administration, there has been a surge in FDCPA cases and notable developments, marking it as a dynamic area of consumer law. This trend is anticipated to persist in the foreseeable future. 

This course is specifically designed to equip accountants with the necessary knowledge and skills for the collections process. It will commence with a comprehensive overview of the collection process, including the practical use of collection agencies and attorneys to collect debts. Participants will then delve into the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, gaining a practical understanding of its implications. We will also discuss how to effectively handle debtors who file for bankruptcy, a crucial skill in the current economic climate. The course will also cover the complex issues surrounding repossessions and foreclosures, providing participants with the confidence to navigate these challenging situations. 

Major Topics Covered:

  • Collecting Bad Debts
  • Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
  • State Laws & Recent Court Rulings
  • Collections & Bankruptcy

Join this CPE course by Robert Minniti, he will discuss the best practices to be used when conducting collection activities.
