FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

Public Workshop: Debt Collection 2.0: 

Protecting Consumers as 

Technologies Change 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘FTC’’ or the ‘‘Commission’’). 

ACTION: Public Workshop and Request 

for Public Comments and Participation. 

SUMMARY: The FTC announces that it 

will hold a public workshop on April 

28, 2011, to address consumer 

protection issues that have arisen as 

debt collectors avail themselves of 

advances in technology. The workshop 

will explore developments in 

technology that debt collectors use to 

gather, store, and manage information 

about consumers; to comply with the 

law; to communicate with consumers; 

and to receive payment. The workshop 

will provide an opportunity for 

government regulators, industry 

members, technologists, consumer 

advocates, and researchers, to discuss 

the costs and benefits of these 

technologies for debt collectors and 

consumers. It will also address whether 

and how collectors may use such 

technologies consistent with applicable 

laws, including the Fair Debt Collection 

Practices Act and Section 5 of the FTC 

Act, what consumer protection concerns 

arise from use of these technologies, and 

what actions, if any, the Commission 

and other policymakers should take to 

respond to those concerns. This notice 

poses a series of questions on which the 

Commission seeks comment. 

The event is open to the public, and 

there is no fee for attendance. For 

admittance to the workshop, all 

attendees will be required to show a 

valid form of government-issued photo 

identification, such as a driver’s license. 

Additional information about the 

workshop will be posted on the FTC’s
