The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has added a new section to the Debt Collection Rule Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) compliance aid.

The new FAQs address questions related to electronic communications, electronic communication opt-out notices and unusual or inconvenient time and place provisions in Reg F.

Last year, the bureau released the FAQs as a compliance aid on Reg F, ACA International previously reported.

They also cover limited-content messages and call frequency issues, and answer questions such as, “Are Zortman voicemails considered limited-content messages?” and “How long is a consumer’s direct prior consent valid?”

In addition to limited-content messages, the original FAQs cover presumptions and excluded calls under the Reg F telephone call frequency requirements.
