Event Synopsis:

In an effort to provide comprehensive federal regulation to payday and small dollar loans, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has recently issued a proposal and will likely issue a notice of proposed rulemaking later this year, requiring certain consumer protections, such as forcing lenders to limit the number of times borrowers can renew and repay their loans. Having stirred immense attention from consumer finance industries, it pays to take a closer look into this new CFPB proposal.

In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will provide an overview to help you better understand the critical elements of the proposal and its potential effects on the payday, installment, and auto title loan industries.

Key issues that will be covered in this course are:

·         CFPB’s Proposal regarding Payday, Installment, and Auto Title Lending Regulations

·         Ability-to-repay Requirements

·         Limits on Rollovers

·         “Debt Trap Prevention” Vs.  “Debt Trap Protection”

·         Potential Risks and Implications for Payday, Installment, and Auto Title Lenders

·         Common Violations and Risk Mitigation Strategies
