Most clients look for low or no-fee debt collection and don’t want to go out of pocket to collect bad debt. However, this can conflict with the terms of the clients’ agreement also known as contract carve-outs. Many contracts contain a clause that provides for mediation and/or arbitration in the event of a dispute. In order to avoid going out of pocket to pursue bad debt, the contract will provide an exception, or better known, a carve-out, for fee disputes.

While it is by no means a pleasurable experience, the simple truth of the matter is that recessions are a part of life and something we should accept as an occasional occurrence. We are going to face them once in a while – there is no avoiding that fact. Depending on your perspective (and at the risk of sounding a little existential), the very fact that recessions are inevitable at some point means we are always approaching one.

When we talk about “compliance and security," most companies want to ensure that steps are being taken to protect what they value most – people, data, real or personal property, intellectual property, digital assets, or any other number of other things - and it’s more important than ever that safeguards are in place. Let’s step back and focus on the idea that no matter how complicated the compliance and security regime, it should be able to be distilled down to a checklist.

Credit card debt is a huge reason people end up filing for bankruptcy. The incredibly high interest rates alone plus the ease of procuring cards contribute to what can be a vicious cycle of maxing out limits, paying only minimums, and applying for more cards. And often this cycle can have long-term negative effects on family relationships. Many cardholders unable to pay their debt wind up filing for bankruptcy which may be a good answer to big financial problems.

Federal student loan borrowers have had a break from paying back their student loans for over three years now. Though the forbearance may have given them breathing room, helped them add to their savings or pay down other debts, inflation creeping up throughout 2022 undermined a lot of that progress. Over 50% of borrowers added debt on regular credit cards during the student loan payment pause and another 31% racked up balances on retail cards, a recent TransUnion analysis found.
