Licensing/Regulatory Compliance

The firm's regulatory complaint practice defends complaints with Attorneys General and licensing agencies nationwide.  Many years we have answered 2,500+ regulatory complaints.  We regularly respond to attorney general subpoenas and investigations, FTC investigations and licensing disputes.  

We represent clients before the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and have assisted with audit preparation, on-site help during a Bureau audit and responding to CFPB formal and informal inquiries and investigations. Significant resources are dedicating to ensuring that clients are CFPB compliant ready regarding all aspects of their debt collection business.

Our licensing compliance practice area representing debt collectors and debt buyers is national in scope and covers state statutes and codified law addressing the issues of licensing, bonding, and prohibited practices. We ensure that our clients satisfy all state and municipal licensing requirements to perform debt collection and debt buyer activities.

At times, we also assist clients in the qualification of their businesses where required and file Annual Reports with the appropriate state agencies.
