| Title: ●Debt Collection Rule | |
| Abstract: The Federal government for many years has received more consumer complaints about debt collectors than about any other single industry. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits debt collectors from engaging in unfair, deceptive, abusive, and other unlawful collection practices, but no Federal agency was vested with authority to issue general implementing regulations prior to the creation of the CFPB. The CFPB is considering whether rules governing the collection of debts are warranted under the FDCPA or other CFPB authorities, and if so what types of rules would be appropriate. Rulemaking might include disclosures or address acts or practices in connection with debt collection activities. | |
