The National Consumer Law Center and the Social Law Library, funded by the Social Law Library’s Endowment to Promote Understanding of Consumer Issues is offering a free four-part webinar series on home equity, tenants’ rights, medical debt and bankruptcy. This webinar series will help case managers, housing counselors, public health workers, and many more to understand the complex consumer issues facing families today.
The series will cover the following objectives:
- Uncover the predatory mechanics of HEIs—from deceptive marketing and repayment triggers to the devastating balloon payments that catch homeowners off guard.
- Learn how to use consumer protection tools to support renters facing tenant screening issues, rental housing junk fees, and rental debt collection.
- Evaluate when bankruptcy can serve as an effective strategy to stop public housing evictions, unwind certain foreclosures, discharge student loan debt, halt wage garnishments, and address other urgent financial issues.
- Real-world case studies will help you gain valuable insight into how to assist clients with medical debt, including those with debt on medical credit cards and related financial products.
Series Dates & Times: Tuesdays, March 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st, from 2 pm – 4 pm ET.
