The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a final rule that updates its procedures for collecting debt. This amendment specifically allows for the collection of civil money penalties (CMPs) by including them in the scope of existing debt-collection regulations. The rule aligns with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 and aims to enhance FDIC's ability to recover debts by using existing Treasury procedures. Although the rule does not impose new requirements on insured institutions, it potentially increases the success rate of collecting delinquent CMPs.
Simple Explanation
The FDIC, like a money manager, made a rule so they can pick up penalties that people owe more easily, using existing rules from another money manage—the Treasury. But it might be hard to understand, and they didn't say how they will make sure it's fair or how they will check if it works well.
