Do You Have the Tools You Need to Capitalize on the New Provisions and Enhance Your Bottom Line?
While sought after and heralded by the consumer lending community, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 is

And given the baffling language and sure-to-come challenges to the new Act, all legal, compliance and collections professionals need to get up to speed on the myriad and complex ramifications of the legislation.
This publication will give you practical, in-depth guidance on revising your policies and procedures to capitalize on the new provisions to ensure increased recoveries.
