insideARM Weekly Recap – Week of June 1, 2026

Colorful highlighters with the work Recap above them

News in the ARM industry never stops and determining what’s truly relevant 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 2026 Q1 Charge-offs, new judgment legislation in VA, and insights into how AI is driving complaints and what you can do about it.  

On Tuesday, we brought you news from ProVest about Q1 2026 delinquency rates. This type of data is crucial for planning and analytics as we roll further into 2026. 

On Wednesday, we brought you details from Orrick regarding Virginia’s new Default Judgments Act which establishes new pleading and disclosure requirements for default judgments beginning in mid-2027.  Even if your organization does collect default judgments, this is worth noting as it has the potential to impact the collections’ ecosystem as a whole.  

On Thursday, we published insights from Phillips & Cohen Associates about AI complaints. As ARM professionals struggle to keep pace with the sheer speed of AI adoption, compliance is falling through the cracks.  This article provides an excellent breakdown of what organizations should keep top of mind as they implement new AI tools.
