The National Center on Law & Elder Rights is hosting a free webinar entitled Strategies for Responding to Debt Collectors on February 28, 2024 from 2:00 PM-3:15 PM Eastern. 

Complaints regarding debt collectors and collection practices are frequently among the top complaints of older consumers. Legal Services Corporation’s most recent Justice Gap Report shared that consumer and finance is one of the most common types of civil legal problems experienced by low income older adults’ households.

This session will provide different strategies advocates can use to help older consumers respond to debt collectors, including: dealing with debt collection harassment, collection lawsuits, and how to avoid potential scams. 

Participants in this training will learn about:

1. Strategies for responding to harassment by debt collectors.
2. What to do if your client has been sued for a consumer debt.
3. Potential scams and how to avoid them.

Presenter:

April Kuehnhoff (she/her), Senior Attorney, National Consumer Law Center

Capacity for this session is limited to 3,000 participants, and all participants will have the option of accessing audio through the computer or by phone. Closed captioning will be available. Please be sure to log onto the webinar a few minutes early in order to secure your place for the live presentation on Zoom.
