Inconceivable Complaints: Crossing the Fire Swamp of "Creative" Complaints
Legal/ComplianceEligible for PDC
10:15 AM - 11:00 AM
Independence West
Description
"As you wish," background screeners say to fair, accurate, and compliant reporting—but consumer complaints and lawsuits can feel like a trek through the Fire Swamp. From sovereign citizen filings and pseudo?legal arguments to misapplied privacy laws, and disputes fueled by AI tools, social platforms, and viral content, today's challenges can resemble ROUSes: loud, fast?moving, and costly if mishandled. In this lively, practice?focused session, four FCRA litigators use anonymized "storybook" scenarios to show how to navigate hazards without falling into the Pit of Despair.
