The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau is in the process of modernizing the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which is an appropriate move for the credit card industry. It is the perfect time for credit card issuers to consider their current collections strategies while the economy is performing well.
Credit Card Charge-Off Collections Takes Brains not Brawn report explains the importance of third-party collection agents and why proposed regulatory updates are appropriate for the U.S. credit card business.
Readers will learn how the credit card aging process works, why third-party agencies help manage financial institution account overflow, and how the FDCPA creates guard rails for the industry.
The timing of the original Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was perfect. Revolving debt in the U.S. hit $50 billion, comments the author of the research report. Today, the U.S. credit card market has more than $1 trillion of revolving debt. Loss rates are at normal levels, yet more than 1 million U.S. cardholders end up at collection agencies each year. FDCPA was born in a world before cellphones, email, and texts. FDCPA 2.0 addresses all these functions and curtails litigation in zombie debt. Both are appropriate next steps.
Highlights of the research report include:
-- A thorough explanation of credit card aging
-- Bankrupcy trends (2006-2019F)
-- Revolving debt trends in the U.S. (1968-2027F)
