USOBA - The Highest Standard in Debt Settlement

Houston, TX (Vocus) October 29, 2008

The United States Organizations for Bankruptcy Alternatives (USOBA) is hosting their biannual 2008 Winter Conference in San Diego, CA on November 9-11. USOBA provides information regarding laws and regulations on both a state and federal level to the debt settlement or debt negotiation industry, outside of credit counseling. Twice a year, member and industry-related companies convene to increase their knowledge, education and experience in a networking atmosphere. The theme of this conference is: Back to the Foundation, How Can Companies Ensure that they are Compliant?

On September 25th, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) hosted a workshop that addressed debt settlement and protection of consumers, and USOBA’s 2008 Winter Conference will focus primarily on these issues and concerns.

  • Legal Compliance Panel – Risk management, solidifying your business practices
