The committee is expected to help the DFPI build out its debt collection licensing program, which is scheduled to go live in January 2022. The DFPI issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in April with details of the licensing application it is looking to put into place. The DFPI is expected to make the licensing application available via the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) on September 1. Applications are due by December 31. Companies can continue to operate and collect while their applications are pending.
The DFPI itself is a new agency, created from the former Department of Business Oversight. Among the investigatory powers that have been bestowed upon the department are those to look into the use of engaging in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices with respect to consumer financial products and services, which could include debt collection activities.
