Even on a short week news in the ARM industry never stops; sorting out what’s news and what’s noise can be a challenge. That’s where insideARM’s weekly recap comes in. Our weekly recap of top stories will give you the news we found most interesting last week and, more importantly, why we think it’s relevant. Last week, we brought you news about a litigation win for CRAs in an FCRA case and insights about how to transform recovery rates using AI. 

On Wednesday, we brought you news from Orrick about a litigation win for CRAs in an FCRA case regarding what is or may be “readily verifiable.”  When it comes to credit reporting, the goalposts shift regularly. This recent decision adds new context into the mix that’s worth noting. 

On Thursday, we published insights from Bridgeforce which explores the role of AI in debt collection, how to effectively integrate debt collection AI tools in operations, regulatory considerations, and what to measure to gauge success.  As the ARM industry looks to leverage new technology it’s crucial to stay on top of new ideas for integration, benefits, strategies, policies and procedures.
