Webinar: The Practical Implementation of Dodd-Frank for End Users

The collaborative expertise from Jackson Walker and Willis Group Consulting provides a more comprehensive and integrated Dodd-Frank solution than any single consulting group or law firm could provide on its own.

    Debt Collection and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act - Teleconference with JW Partner Curt Langley
    The collection of debts and judgments is a challenge for most businesses even when the economy is healthy. However, during times of economic slowdown and recession, you will face a higher volume of slow-pay and no-pay problems with both vendors and customers.

    This program, given by Jackson Walker partner Curt Langley, is designed to provide an overview of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA); an explanation of key terms and definitions under the FDCPA; practical guidance on how the FDCPA applies to collection letters; a discussion of recent cases involving claims arising from the use, or misuse of collection letters; and practical forms and checklists for ensuring compliance with the FDCPA. This program is critical for attorneys and businesses who want to implement successful collection procedures, while avoiding claims under the FDCPA.
