A Discussion of Credit Reporting Issues arising from the CFPB's Proposed Debt Collection Rules

In this podcast, we discuss the CFPB's proposed requirement for a collector to communicate with a debtor before furnishing information about the debt to a consumer reporting agency and proposed prohibition on selling or transferring a debt that is the subject of an identity theft report. We also look at the challenges collectors would face in complying with both the proposed FDCPA dispute rules and the current FCRA dispute process and the proposal's implications for the credit reporting system.
