The last year has shown an increasing number of complaints -- and lawsuits -- against credit unions and others because of the way they report debts that are discharged in bankruptcy. Why? And why now?  Did something change in the law?

How are you supposed to report a debt that has been discharged?  Is there "one right way," or are there several possible ways to report it?  Is it a matter of "bankruptcy" law, or a matter of "credit reporting" law?

  Take steps to ensure your credit union is reporting properly before a problem arises!

This is an issue that affects all credit unions, and with the increasing number of lawsuits its importance is growing.  Now is the time to separate fact from fiction and to learn what the rules really are.

During this Internet program, credit union attorney Eric North discusses:

What the Bankruptcy Code has to say about credit reporting.
What the Fair Credit Reporting Act has to say about bankruptcy.
What the major credit reporting agencies have to say about the problem.
The credit reporting options that are available to you.

and much more!

Like other NorthLegal Webinars, this program gives your credit union the opportunity to train several staff members for a single low price, right in the convenience of your office!

NOTE: This program is intended for employees of credit unions. If you are not a credit union employee, please contact NorthLegal Training and Publications to obtain approval before registering.

Cost/Registration
