With the Nov. 30, 2021, Reg F effective date fast approaching, ACA has you covered for finalizing compliance preparations.

ACA International’s education series on implementing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s debt collection rule, Reg F, is available online to guide members through everything from disclosures to limited content messages before the compliance date.
The Reg F compliance date is Nov. 30, 2021.
ACA knows its members have been working on updating their policies and procedures to comply with Reg F and is here to help with its ACA How video series.
Reg F is the biggest change for the accounts receivable management industry since the inception of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The series— introduced by ACA Corporate Counsel Colin Winkler— covers every part of Reg F that requires organizational change, including how to implement those changes and who needs to be involved. Each section is broken into short videos presented by industry leaders and includes a tip sheet to support the course subject.
ACA added two new educational modules to guide members through communication related to credited reporting and state laws.
Chad Echols, partner at the Echols Firm LLC, will be presenting the new module on Communication Prior to Credit Reporting, which covers the procedures leading up to credit reporting and policy changes.
Relation to State Laws, presented by Stefanie Jackman, partner at Ballard Spahr, LLP, covers everything you need to know about Reg F regarding state laws and regulations.
Members will have access to 15 hours of education taught by industry-leading professionals, all broken down into 3-to-5 minute easy-to-navigate tutorials.
ACA’s recent informational video guides you through how to navigate the ACA How web page and explains the account setup process as well as navigating modules and tracking your progress.
