NACA's FCRA Conference

I am attending and speaking at the National Association of Consumer Advocates' bi-annual Fair Credit Reporting Act conference in Chicago, Illinois this coming weekend. I have spoken at this conference every year since its inception in 2000 (it was an annual conference until 2008) and have served on its steering committee the last few years.

This year's conference is May 8 through 10 at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago. The conference will be different this year, in that it will have two tracks, one for beginners and one for more advanced practicioners of the FCRA. Thus, this conference offers something for every attorney interested in representing consumers in litigation against the credit reporting agencies Experian, Equifax and Trans Union or against furnishers of inaccurate credit information (i.e. credit card companies, mortgage companies, collection agencies and public record vendors).

The only problem with this year's conference is that the Cubs are not playing at home while the conference is ongoing. Other than that very important detail, this year's conference should be excellent and boasts an excellent line up of speakers.
