Legal Basics: Debt Collection Protections for Older Consumers

The National Center on Law and Elder Rights (NCLER) is hosting a webinar to discuss how an increasing number of older consumers are struggling with unmanageable debt as Americans carry more credit card, student loan, and other debts into retirement than in past decades. Older adults are often aggressively pursued by debt collectors to repay debt from fixed incomes. This webinar will outline the issues facing older consumers and offers strategies to help address the challenges. The presenter will also highlight federal protections for older consumers from abusive debt collection practices.
