Introduction to Consumer Bankruptcy
A NorthLegal Webinar
(Presented March 19, 2009) (114 minutes)
| |
Bankruptcy
law is a complex subject, and one about which attorneys and even
courts often disagree.
But the failure to understand exactly what
the rules are can result in lost opportunities to collect debt,
wasted time, and, in some instances, expensive litigation and penalties
against the credit union!
It's important that each credit union have a staff that is well-trained
to handle bankruptcy matters; "faking it" or "learning on the job"
can cost many times more than you would spend training
staff right in the first place!
This
Internet training program will provide both legal and practical
information to new collectors who are just learning
about bankruptcy, to experienced bankruptcy collectors who
want a refresher
|
and
to be sure they're doing the very best they can for their credit
union, for lenders
or credit committee members who
want to understand bankruptcy in order to help them make better
loans, and to management team or board members
who understand they need enough general knowledge about the subject
to allow them to properly guide those they are paid to supervise.
During
this program, credit union attorney Eric North talks with participants
about: |
|
"Eric
makes what would ordinarly be dry material interesting, with
his stories and animated delivery style."
"Eric
always does a fabulous job of boiling down a very complex subject
into understandable bits."
|
| • |
What
the different types ("chapters") of bankruptcy
are, what each was designed to do, how they differ from one another,
and how each affects your credit union. |
| • |
Generally,
what things credit union collectors should look for when attempting
to maximize recovery through bankruptcy. |
• |
Why
rules are different in various parts of the country -- even
though we all follow the same law -- and what your credit union
can do about it. |
| • |
The language of bankruptcy: what the various
words used by attorneys, courts, and bankruptcy professionals mean. |
| • |
An
introduction to the "automatic stay" -- when it begins
and ends and how it affects your credit union. |
and
much more!
Like

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