Now is the Time to Bring Everyone to the Table

The challenges facing debt collectors – and creditors, and consumers – today are more than 30 years in the making. Conflicting laws, confusing disclosures, law suits over technicalities, and the proliferation of true “bad actors,” have all contributed to today’s environment of hyper focus on new rules and regulations.

This is a great opportunity. People on all sides of the issue are having their say – in many cases, publicly telling their side of the story. It has been quite a process to watch and to take part in. Never in my nearly 15 years covering the ARM industry have I seen such activity and such a high level of engagement from so many.
