I can’t say these results were too surprising. The top two directly impact day-to-day operations at debt collection agencies and the third one, well, Brad Pitt is awfully handsome.

I do think it’s interesting that the two cases dealt directly with TCPA concerns, rather than the usual FDCPA matters. It makes sense, as the TCPA moves more to the front of compliance managers’ minds. We’ll see what happens on that front in 2013.

These were three great pieces on three very different topics. The top one was a submission from a writer who took a job as a debt collector to make some cash. It’s a fantastic read and totally different than what you’re probably expecting. Our next article comes from insideARM’s own Michael Klozotsky, and he’s talking about some boring technology stuff (that has explicit impact on the ARM industry, of course). And the final one was a lawyery piece from insideARM friend and attorney bard, John Rossman.
