Understanding debt collection legislation, regulators and compliance standards

Understanding legislation and regulation is fundamental to working confidently and compliantly in the debt collection industry. This module provides a structured and practical overview of the legal framework, key Acts of Parliament and regulatory bodies that govern day-to-day activity.
