Benefits:

Mastering the enforcement of judgments and debt collection has become increasingly difficult due to changes in the business cycle. The large number of collection actions has dramatically increased the need for attorneys proficient in the science of effective judgment enforcement and asset recovery. At the same time, federal and state debt collection & credit reporting statutes have gained significant importance. A creditor’s ability to collect from a debtor is governed under a web of legislation that regulates the credit and collection industry, as well as provides consumer debtors protection from abusive and deceptive practices. The Rossdale faculty for this seminar features several leading authorities in this practice, who will describe pre-judgment remedies, effectively locating & seizing assets, cutting edge asset discovery, navigating complex searches, strategies on enforcing judgments, fraudulent transfers, communicating with debtors, & post-judgment remedies. This convenient telephonic seminar will also include discussion on the latest decisions and rules governing collection and enforcement cases. Registration includes online access to written course and reference materials that serve as a helpful guide to the numerous topics and techniques discussed in the program.
