    Steven M. Puiszis

    Author Steven Puiszis is a partner in the Chicago office of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP. He serves as the Firm's General Counsel on Privacy, Security & Compliance. This timely article discusses Bile v.

    ABA supports FDCPA, CFPB exemptions for creditor lawyers engaged in litigation

    ABA President Hilarie Bass expressed the association’s strong support this month for the “Practice of Law Technical Clarification Act of 2017,” legislation that would restore traditional state court regulation and oversight of creditor lawyers’ litigation activities. In a Nov. 16 letter to leaders of the House Financial Services Committee and the House Judiciary Committee, Bass explained that the legislation, H.R. 1849, would clarify that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) does not apply to creditor lawyers engaged in litigation activities and that the existing “practice of law exclusion” in Section 1027(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 covers both consumer and creditor lawyers.
