Messer Strickler, Ltd. Partners Nicole Strickler and Lauren Burnette to Speak at AccountsRecovery.net Free Webinars

This month, AccountsRecovery.net has teamed up with a variety of sponsors to put on a series of free webinars featuring prominent speakers in the debt collection world. Two of these speakers are Messer Strickler’s very own Nicole Strickler and Lauren Burnette. Lauren Burnette spoke alongside three other panelists on February 10th at 1:00 p.m. EST. Their topic was, “The Areas of Debt Collection Rule That Plaintiff’s Attorneys Will Focus On,” sponsored by TCN. Lauren and the other panelists discussed how an upcoming debt collection rule will change the types of lawsuits filed against collection agencies and share their thoughts about what areas of the rule plaintiff’s attorneys will likely focus on.

Nicole Strickler will be speaking alongside three other panelists on February 17th at 1:00 p.m. EST. Also sponsored by TCN, the topic for this upcoming webinar is “Understanding the Debt Collection Rule’s Provisions for Texting and Emailing.” Considering the CFPB’s recent decision to allow debt collectors to communicate in the form of text message and email, the panelists will discuss and stress the importance of obtaining consent and what to do if consent is revoked.
