It’s a federal law that limits the behavior and actions of thirdparty debt collectors who are attempting to collect debts on behalf of another person or entity. It’s important to understand the key elements of the Act as well as updates that have been made recently. During this webinar, Justin will discuss an overview of the FDCPA, its history, provisions, recent updates, and how it came about. Also, how FDCPA relates to all levels of staff.
