Debt Collection in the Post Dodd-Frank Enforcement Era

The Journal of Taxation and Regulation of Financial Institutions

Sasha Leonhardt and Jessica Pollet authored "Debt Collection in the Post Dodd-Frank Enforcement Era," which appeared in the January/February issue of The Journal of Taxation and Regulation of Financial Institutions.

Since the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, government agencies have increasingly focused on entities operating in the debt-collection space. Where government agencies have identified practices they believe constitute unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts and practices or other violations of law in the collection of consumer debts, enforcement actions generally have ensued. The authors identify key takeaways for debt collectors from recent government actions and provide possible options regarding continued regulatory compliance.
