Early registration for the Northlegal Consumer Collections Conference ends June 13!

Consumer Collections Conference

August 22-25, 2022,

Lake Las Vegas, Nevada

The NorthLegal Consumer Collections Conference provides in-depth training regarding the laws that govern how lending institutions may collect consumer debts. Participants will learn:

Which statutes and regulations you must know about, what those laws require you to do, and what those laws prohibit you from doing.
How courts have interpreted (and expanded) those legal requirements and prohibitions, and how those court decisions affect you.
Which laws are “hot” areas for litigation.
Common myths and misunderstandings about what you may and may not do.
What’s new from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or “CFPB”

Topics Covered

A strict scheduled “agenda” is not available in advance of the program because the speaker believes participants benefit from the ability to cover some topics as they arise and to adjust the order in which other topics are covered. However, the following topics, among others, will be covered in detail during the three-and-a-half day conference:

» The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

» “Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices” Laws

» The Uniform Commercial Code and Motor Vehicle Repossessions

» Cross-Collateral Clauses

» Liens on Deposits and Right of Offset

» Federal Real Estate Collection and Foreclosure Laws

» The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act

» The Effect of the Military Lending Act on Collections

» Collecting Decedents’ Accounts

Prerequisites

There are no experience-level prerequisites for this program. The NorthLegal Consumer Collections Conference is open to everyone from new collectors to those with many years’ experience and is designed to provide useful training for all.

Participants must be employees of consumer lending institutions such as banks, credit unions or automobile finance lenders, or financial institution agents such as attorneys or collection agencies.

About the Speaker

The primary speaker for the conference is Eric North. Eric is a practicing attorney who has devoted his legal practice to representing the interests of consumer lending institutions for more than thirty years.

Prior to beginning the practice of law, Eric worked within various financial institutions in lending, collections, and operations departments, and managed several of those institutions. This experience allows Eric to bring practical, as well as “legal” information to those who attend his programs.

In addition to practicing law, Eric dedicates a significant portion of his time each year to the training of hundreds of consumer credit professionals throughout the United States through local programs presented on behalf of state and national trade associations, through monthly NorthLegal Webinars, and through the annual NorthLegal Advanced Bankruptcy Conference and this NorthLegal Consumer Collections Conference.

It is anticipated there may be one or more guest speakers at the conference, although that is not for certain. Further information will be posted here as it becomes available.
