The "unless permitted by law" language has been construed in decisions such as Johnson v. Riddle, 305 F3d 1107 (10th Cir. 2002), to mean that the charge or additional fee must be specifically established in the state's law or court decisions. Examples of these additional fees, which are specifically enumerated, include bad check charges or condo fees. With few exceptions, states have not created specific statutory authority to add collection costs to nonfederal student debts. Florida, for example, has created such a state law authority pursuant to Florida Statutes, Title XLVin, Section 1010.03 (13)(i). These consumer groups were very active in lobbying the federal government to limit the addition of collection costs to federal debts. As a result, new regulations went into effect on July...

It was my intention to depart from my practice of keying off the cover topic of the current issue of Collector and instead talk about the past year and what I see waiting ahead of us. I still plan to do that, but the theme of this month's magazine relates in part to what I was going to talk about, which are the compliance issues concerning the state and federal regulatory environment. Included within these pages are four "hot topic" articles covering the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and state laws. The FDCPA article discusses subjects such as itemizing debt, leaving messages and letter signatories. The FCRA article addresses permissible purposes for pulling credit reports, red flags and liability. ...

While the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") addressed the concerns of millions of Americans regarding their health care, the drafters failed to consider a major issue with regard to debt collection. The Act's privacy provisions create a conflict with the debt-validation requirement of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"). Specifically, if third parties such as debt-collection agencies are involved in the debt-collection process, patient-debtors cannot receive validation for their medical debts under the current law without sacrificing their privacy to such an agency. This Note offers several alternatives to ameliorate or eradicate the problem, thereby maximizing both patient privacy and consumer protection. Congress should address this ...

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011. The Bureau is in the process of republishing the regulations implementing those laws with technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act. In light of the transfer of the Federal Trade Commission's (Commission's) rulemaking authority for the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to the Bureau, the Bureau is publishing for public comment an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation F (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act). This in...
