Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Policy

$195.00

This Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Policy Template addresses measures a bank, credit union, fintech company, or other type of financial institution must take to ensure adherence to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).  In general, the intent of the FDCPA is to ensure that debt collectors who refrain from using abusive debt collection practices are not competitively disadvantaged, promote consistent state action to protect consumers against debt collection abuses, ensure that certain features of debt collection are disclosed fully, accurately, and effectively to consumers in a manner that permits consumers to understand the costs, benefits, and risks associated with debt collection, in light of the facts and circumstances, and impose record retention requirements to enable the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to administer and carry out the purposes of the FDCPA, the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as to prevent evasions thereof.  See more information about this product below.  In addition, we recommend adding a Product Update Protection Plan to your shopping cart to ensure you automatically receive an updated version of this policy template every time it is revised by us via e-mail within one year from the date of purchase.
