Reg F is a new law that all debt collectors have to adhere to. The overall aim of Regulation F is to outline prohibitions on harassment or abuse, false or misleading representations, and unfair practices. It’s a rule of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA), which is enforced by The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) and significantly impacts the overall debt collection process.
Regulation F applies to collection agencies, debt collectors, debt buyers, collection law firms and loan servicers. However, creditors collecting on debts they originally owned do not qualify as debt collectors unless they enlist the aid of a debt collector or use a name other than their own.
For over 30 years, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was solely enforced by the Federal Trade Commission when the Dodd-Frank Act established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in 2010. Now, the FDCPA is upheld by both the FTC and CFPB through the issuing and implementation of substantive rules. Regulation F was published by the CFPB to supersede and replace the FDCPA
