FTC Seeking Public Comment on Debt Collection Litigation for Workshop

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last week put out a call for public comment in advance of its two-day workshop on debt collection litigation and arbitration practices to be held in early August.

The FTC will be hosting a workshop in Chicago – formally titled “Protecting Consumers in Debt Collection Litigation and Arbitration: A Roundtable Discussion” – to discuss policy issues surrounding the accounts receivable management industry’s use of the legal system. The event, scheduled for August 5-6, will be the first in a series on the topic, according to the FTC.
