Bankruptcy 101: Introduction to Consumer Bankruptcy
A NorthLegal Webinar
(Appx. 114 min)

Cost/Registration | Regions Affected | Co-Hosts | How to Attend a Webinar

Bankruptcy law is a complex subject, and one about which attorneys and even courts often disagree.

But the failure to understand exactly what the rules are can result in lost opportunities to collect debt, wasted time, and, in some instances, expensive litigation and penalties against your financial institution!

It's important that each consumer lending institution have a staff that is well-trained to handle bankruptcy matters; "faking it" or "learning on the job" can cost many times more than you would spend training staff right in the first place!

This Internet training program will provide both legal and practical information to new collectors who are just learning about bankruptcy, to experienced bankruptcy collectors who want a refresher and to be sure they're doing the very best they can for their institution, for lenders or credit committee members who want to understand bankruptcy in order to help them make better loans, and to management team or board members who understand they need enough general knowledge about the subject to allow them to properly guide those they are paid to supervise.

During this program, attorney Eric North talks with participants about:

• What the different types ("chapters") of bankruptcy are, what each was designed to do, how they differ from one another, and how each affects your institution.
• Generally, what things consumer loan collectors should look for when attempting to maximize recovery through bankruptcy.
• Why rules are different in various parts of the country -- even though we all follow the same law -- and what your institution can do about it.
• The language of bankruptcy: what the various words used by attorneys, courts, and bankruptcy professionals mean.
• An introduction to the "automatic stay" -- when it begins and ends and how it affects your institution.

and much more!

Like other NorthLegal Webinars, this program gives your consumer lending institution the opportunity to train several staff members for a single low price, right in the convenience of your office!
