To paint a picture of what changes might be on the horizon, AccountsRecovery.net reached out to a number of industry veterans and asked them to share one prediction for the ARM industry that they think will happen during the Biden administration. While one participant likened the request to asking how things will go in a neighborhood on the day that someone new moves in, here is what those veterans had to say.
