CFPB Takes Action Against Law Firm Debt Collectors for Lack of Meaningful Involvement

 

The CFPB’s most recent monthly snapshot report illustrates debt collection as the most-complained-about product.

Of note is the Bureau’s decision to draw attention to these law firms’ specialization in collecting medical debt, which is consistent with the Bureau’s past statements about the increased vulnerability of consumers when a medical debt is the subject of collection activity. As a result, the Bureau will undoubtedly continue to closely monitor the players in this arena, including first-party creditors, and is expected to continue its focus on the intersection of collections and healthcare.
