COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The outbreak of the coronavirus has been posing challenges for debt recovery. Several state officials and regulators across the globe have taken initiatives to minimize the economic burdens stemming from COVID-19 on consumers in their states by placing additional restrictions on debt collection practices. For instance, on March 25, 2020, Massachusetts Attorney General (AG) Maura Healey with the Secretary of State’s Office implemented an emergency regulation designed to restrain debt collection in the Commonwealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. This regulation prevents debt collectors and creditors from harassing residents. Variations in enforcement procedures and order for payment procedures during the COVID-19 emergency and significant adverse economic effects majorly rising unemployment may make it further complicated, and in some cases, restrict the power to enforce claims.
