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 details about an FCRA case win, a discussion about whether texts are calls under the TCPA, and insights into how to implement intelligent strategies to boost recovery rates. 

On Tuesday, we shared details from Orrick about a win in an FCRA case that questioned if the designation “in collections” on a credit report was accurate. Credit furnishers should take note of the court’s opinion and the positive outcome. 

On Wednesday, we brought you an analysis from Troutman Pepper Locke regarding whether Text Messages will be considered calls under the TCPA in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. This article examines the details of a pending court case and discusses how the case might turn out. The analysis here is helpful for future planning. 

On Thursday, we brought you insights from Convoke outlining intelligent strategies that can help boost recovery rates. As the world changes, so too must collection strategies. The old playbooks no longer work, but it can be tough to determine what needs to change and why. This piece provides practical insights into key areas that are worth looking at as your organization evolves.
