Raise Collection Rates and Reduce Costs, While Remaining in Compliance with the Law!

When chief financial officers, attorneys and business owners focus on debt collection - both consumer and business debts - their overall concern can be generally summarized in two short sentences: "What can I do legally?" and "Where do I find the answer?" Aspen Publishers' Complete Guide to Credit and Collection Law, 2012 - 2013 Edition is a comprehensive effort to answer these questions.

Recent years have produced as many significant changes in the credit and collection industry as Sarbanes-Oxley produced in Wall Street. Legislation emerging from Congress impacts not only on the extension of credit, but also the collection of debts.

The new, completely updated 2012 - 2013 Edition contains the following:

In-depth analysis of stale, unsigned, bounced, post dated, stop payment, certified and cashiers’ checks

How to improve your credit rating at the Better Business Bureau
