Do you have a question about debt collection? You’re invited to submit it to participants in a daylong discussion being held Thursday by the Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The two agencies are the hosts of a workshop on “Life of a Debt: Data Integrity in Debt Collection.” The event, which started at 9 a.m. Eastern, is examining the flow of consumer information through the debt-collection process.
The financial protection bureau this year assumed oversight of larger firms that specialize in collecting various kinds of debt, including personal and household debt as well as student loans.
The session’s agenda includes discussions on investigating disputed debts, and debt litigation.
The public can view the event live via webcast and submit questions electronically in three ways:
Twitter: Commission staff will tweet workshop highlights from the F.T.C.’s Twitter account, and use the hashtag #DebtData.
Facebook: Post questions to the F.T.C.’s Facebook page, in the roundtable status thread.
E-mail: Submit questions to Lifeofadebt@ftc.gov.
Have you had a bad experience with a debt collection agency? What happened?
