C6: Using the FDCPA to Effect Systemic Change (Video)

Issued:

Date
2020

Description

Even though the FDCPA does not provide for injunctive relief, advocates have been able to obtain results that have eliminated bad practices. This session will explore strategies aimed at addressing bad debt collector practices, including how to use state laws that provide for injunctive relief, how to negotiate injunctions when injunctive relief is not provided, and how a good decision can work as its own injunction. We will also explore what types of relief should be sought and examine cases where systemic change was effected, including Fritz v. Resurgent, Sykes v. Mel S Harris, and Morales v. Kavulich.
