Fortunately it does not have to be complicated. Please join this workshop to discuss the ABCs in today's collections, understand the Fair Credit Reporting Act & your obligations to accurately report member disputes, understanding BSA impacts to collections, collection communications & your compliance responsibility, and walk away with customizable templates & resources to use right away.
