The benefit of leveraging outsourced vendors to manage consumer contacts continues to be offset by the risk of direct or vicarious liability for the outsourced vendors’ actions. In an attempt to reduce liability, many creditors are incurring rapidly rising audit resource costs as they search for ways to exert control and gain insight into the numerous agencies that represent their brand.

On the webinar topic Dusty Whitesell, Chief Evangelist, LiveVox, Inc. adds, “Compounding the challenge of the CFPB, 2015 and 2016 has seen courts further extend vicarious liability to encompass the TCPA. This is particularly concerning since the July 10^th FCC Declaratory Ruling already expanded TCPA exposure. What are the top regulatory trends placing banks at risk this year and how can they adapt their agency management practices to minimize exposure and control audit costs? I am excited to be able to join legal experts who work every day with fellow business leaders to answer these questions and develop strategies to address these challenges while understanding the need to maintain performance levels.”
