Financial Services Roundtable Hosts Important Meeting in D.C.

Dave Jones and Joe Curcio represented the AICCCA at a Comprehensive Counseling-Stakeholders Meeting at the Financial Services Roundtable offices in Washington, D.C. on January 3, 2013.  The meeting was an opportunity for industry experts to review the state of the economy and the particular challenges facing today's borrowers.

Meeting participants discussed the limitation of current models for counseling and discussed new ideas that offer promise. The goal was to engage in a collaborative effort to create a vision for the future that would offer value for the consumers and the industry.

Additional groups joining the AICCCA representatives and members of the Financial Services Roundtable at the meeting included HOPE NOW, the Homeownership Preservation Foundation, CredAbility, the Housing Policy Council, and creditors.

Overall, the meeting was worthwhile and well attended.  The AICCCA will work with all participants to help establish viability of the concepts presented and to institute a pilot study if future viability is indicated.
