Members of the House Financial Services Committee are slated to discuss legislation focused on debt collection practices during a hearing at 10 a.m. Eastern on Sept. 26, according to the September calendar of hearings released by committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif.
The committee has not announced specific legislation scheduled for review during the debt collection practices hearing, which was originally scheduled for June.
In addition to the debt collection practices hearing, the committee will convene for a legislative markup Sept. 18 and 19 and a hearing at 10 a.m. Sept. 10 titled, “A $1.5 Trillion Crisis: Protecting Student Borrowers and Holding Student Loan Servicers Accountable.”
A task force established by Waters, The Task Force on Financial Technology, will convene a hearing, “The Future of Real-Time Payments,” at 2 p.m. Sept. 26.
The 116th Congress will return from the August recess after Labor Day.
The recess is a great time to connect with your local representatives or join town hall meetings and community events. ACA has resources available on its Advocacy Resource Center including an association fact sheet, research and an advocacy booklet.
