The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC) Bulletin 2014-37 on Consumer Debt Sales reflects the agency’s latest guidance on this topic since its written statement a year ago to the Senate Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Protection describing “best practices” drawn from experience in supervising the largest national banks. Unlike the statement, which described risk management practices examiners should expect to find in large banks with debt sales activities, the Bulletin addresses the application of consumer protection requirements and safe and sound banking practices to debt sales by all OCC-supervised institutions, including community banks.
In this webinar, we will focus on the scope and provisions of the new Bulletin, explain how such guidance compares with prior pronouncements on the topic, and discuss its implications for the debt sales industry. We will also report on recent activity by the Uniform Law Commission, and conclude with recommendations for national banks, federal thrifts, and other debt sellers and buyers in confronting the potential industry changes resulting from the new guidance.
