Bankruptcy Law for Collection Professionals

As a collection professional, bankruptcy laws can be difficult to decipher. For example, a consumer who owes you a debt has filed for protection under the bankruptcy laws. Do you know if your collection efforts can be continued? Not being sure could mean you are not collecting money you are rightfully owed. Bankruptcy Code also provides protection to parties who have extended credit prior to the date of the debtor's petition for bankruptcy. Knowing your rights as a creditor is of the utmost importance and this collections and accounts receivable training workshop will help.

Both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the automatic stay provision under the Bankruptcy Code prohibit third-party collectors from contacting consumer debtors after the filing of a bankruptcy petition. However, there are still actions you can take to protect the interests of your company and make sure you are not limiting your ability to collect what is owed.
