Topics Covered

A strict scheduled "agenda" is not available in advance of the program because the speaker believes participants benefit from the ability to cover some topics as they arise and to adjust the order in which other topics are covered. However, the following topics, among others, will be covered in detail during the three-and-a-half day conference:

» The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
» "Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices" Laws
» The Uniform Commercial Code and Motor Vehicle Repossessions

» Working with Collection Agents, Repo Agents, Lawyers and Other Business Partners
» Regulation by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

 



Course Materials

At the conference, each participant will receive extensive handout materials that outline, discuss, and analyze collection law as it pertains to consumer lending. Although these course materials are not intended to serve as a "stand alone book" (in fact, they are not sold to those who do not attend the conference), many conference participants have told us they use the course materials as a reference guide to assist them in handling cases throughout the year.





Speakers

The primary speaker for the seminar, Eric North, is a practicing attorney who has represented the interests of consumer lending institutions for more than thirty years. Prior to practicing law, Eric worked within various financial institutions in lending, collections, and operations departments, and managed several of those institutions. This experience allows Eric to bring practical, as well as "legal" information to those who attend his programs.

In addition to practicing law, Eric dedicates a significant portion of his time each year to the training of hundreds of consumer credit professionals throughout the United States through local programs presented on behalf of dozens of state and national trade associations, through periodic NorthLegal Webinars, and through the annual NorthLegal Advanced Bankruptcy Conference and the NorthLegal Consumer Collections Conference.

It is anticipated there may be one or more guest speakers at the conference, although that is not for certain. Further information will be posted here as it becomes available.
