Bankruptcy law affects every consumer financial institution. But it is a complex and ever-changing subject—and one about which attorneys and even courts often disagree.

Just "figuring it out as you go" can lead to lost opportunities to recover unpaid debt, wasted time, expensive litigation, and mistakes that lead to court sanctions. It is important that collectors (and those who supervise and audit them) know the rules. Lenders who understand bankruptcy basics can make better loans too.

This introductory-level NorthLegal webinar provides collectors, lenders, compliance personnel, credit committee members, and those on the managment team with the legal and practical information you need to best protect the interests of your financial institution!

Participants will learn:

• A description of the various types ("chapters") of bankruptcy, how they differ from each other, and how each affects your financial institution.
• Things consumer loan collectors should look for when attempting to maximize recovery of a debt included in a Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy.
• Why rules are are not always the same in different parts of the country (even though we all follow the same law) and what your institution can do about it.
• The language of bankruptcy: What the words used by courts, attorneys and other bankruptcy professionals mean.
• An introduction to the "automatic stay" — when it begins and ends and how it affects your institution.

and much more!
