Debt collection calls allowed to continue in Mass.

On May 6, 2020, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Stearns entered a temporary restraining order (TRO) temporarily enjoining Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey from enforcing an emergency regulation, which prohibits certain debt-collection activities, including debt-collection calls, for a period of 90 days beginning on March 26 and lasting until June 24.

The TRO was set to expire on May 21. On May 20, ACA International filed a motion for clarification requesting that Judge Stearns clarify whether he had intended to grant a preliminary injunction along with the TRO. The motion for clarification was unopposed by Healey.

On May 21, 2020, Judge Stearns granted the motion for clarification, confirming that he intended to grant a preliminary injunction as well as the TRO with his prior order. This means that the emergency regulation’s prohibition against debt collection calls in Massachusetts will remain unenforceable for the duration of the regulation period unless the attorney general successfully moves to dissolve the preliminary injunction. Accordingly, debt collectors may continue or resume debt collection actions in Massachusetts courts and debt-collection calls as long as they otherwise comply with existing Massachusetts and federal debt-collection statutes and regulations.

Companies should be aware that the TRO and preliminary injunction do not affect those portions of the emergency regulation banning self-help repossession. Self-help auto repossessions remain prohibited until the expiration of the emergency regulation on June 24, unless the regulation is extended beyond that date by the attorney general.

Auto Finance Summit, the premier industry event, returns October 20-22, 2020, as a virtual experience. The virtual experience will offer the same quality networking and education as past events, all through an online platform.
