Credit
Reporting and Bankruptcy
A NorthLegal Webinar
(Recorded November 29, 2007)
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

opportunity to train several staff members for
a single low price, right in the convenience of your office!
