Continued Success on Your Behalf
We accomplished a lot in 2023, including most recently:
- Pushing Back on CFPB Overreach: ACA was successful in pushing back on CFPB overreach by forcing the bureau to slow down and complete the SBREFA process on a new Fair Credit Reporting Act rulemaking that has the possibility to harm ACA members. We outlined legal and policy arguments on behalf of members in comments to the CFPB on several other topics, such as proposed nonbank registries for “repeat offenders” and consumer contracts, the abusive guidance under UDAAP, and medical financing products.
- Fighting State Garnishment Limitations: ACA continues to fight against legislation to further limit garnishment and massively expand wage, personal property and bank levy exemptions. These efforts include pushing back against proposals in Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington, as well as bills to shorten the statute of limitations in Massachusetts and Virginia.
- Weekly Free Education Through the ACA Huddle: So far this year, we’ve held 45 ACA Huddle webinars—a free, members-only online series providing real-time updates on regulatory, federal/state advocacy, and compliance issues discussed by industry experts.
- Enhanced Buyer’s Guide: ACA redesigned our online Buyer’s Guide to make it easier for members to find their next vendor partner. Now members can search for companies by: Company, contact name, and keyword; Markets/services provided; or ACA event participation. Additionally, the July/August issue of Collector magazine features a handy printed version of the Buyers Guide.
- Enriched State Guide Tool: The new State Guide Cohort gives subscribers a collaborative monthly webinar through which ACA staff, industry attorneys and agency compliance experts can share information about state statutes, regulations and state-specific judicial decisions. As part of this, ACA’s compliance team dissected more than 50 new state and local laws that became effective in 2023 for potential applicability to ARM-industry issues and created summary content about more than 30 of these state and local laws for inclusion in ACA’s Guide to State Collection Laws and Practices and, as appropriate, in ACA SearchPoint
That’s just the tip of the iceberg! We are so proud of what we’ve achieved on your behalf, but we are even more excited about what’s to come in 2024.
ACA membership not only helps you remain up to date on laws and regulations, but it also gives you access to education, networking and strategic business opportunities vital to growing your career and your company.
Your payment by Dec. 31 confirms access to the member benefits that give you a competitive edge and help you stand up for your business through the next year. ACA is looking forward to continuing to serve our members in the upcoming year, so gain this advantage by renewing before the new year!
You can renew online or use the renewal invoice that will mailed to you in mid-November.
