On Thursday, the FTC and CFPB held a joint roundtable titled Life of a Debt: Data Integrity in Debt Collection. Journalist Fred Williams has a report at the Taking Charge blog. An except:
At Thursday's meeting, [debt buyer and industry association president Richard] Munroe and other debt buyers didn't repeat the argument the collection industry has advanced in the past: That regulation will block collection of legitimate debt and injure the credit system. Instead, industry representatives pleaded that the new rules, whatever shape they eventually take, be consistent and nationwide.
And Trevor Salter at Ballard Spahr's CFPB Monitor also had posts here and here.
