Hot Issues for Debt Collection in 2021: What Both Third-Party and First-Party Debt Collectors Need to Know About the Latest Developments

While federal and state regulators have long focused on debt collection practices, new CFPB leadership, increased state regulatory powers, the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors will not only make it harder for third-party debt collectors but likewise will expand the supervisory and enforcement focus to companies collecting on their own consumer debts. In this webinar, Manatt professionals will discuss recent developments in this area and what is coming over the next year.

Topics will include:

• CFPB debt collection rulemaking under new leadership

• Possible use of UDAAP claims to regulate first-party debt collection and other activities through enforcement

• California’s new debt collector registration requirements, including the related ongoing rulemaking

• Enforcement and class action activity
