Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill creates the Uniform Consumer Debt Default Judgments Act to provide more protections for consumers in debt collection lawsuits. It requires debt collectors to provide more detailed information in their complaints and to include a specific notice warning consumers about the consequences of not responding. If a debt collector fails to follow these rules, the court can dismiss the case.
