Credit unions are always a target for lawsuits – especially regarding consumer collections.  Most credit unions already dislike collection work and today’s economy is making matters worse.

A mistake in the collection process can result in substantial damages against the credit union.  Therefore, understanding the proper legal procedures during each collection phase is imperative.  This session will explain all aspects of consumer collections, including the proper steps to initiate the collection process, handling collateral repossession, foreclosing on collateral, exercising the right of setoff, and otherwise pursuing the consumer for collection.
