Title 940 CMR 7.00 - Debt Collection Regulations
Section 7.09 - Relation to Other Laws

Universal Citation: 940 MA Code of Regs 940.7
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

940 CMR 7.00 does not exempt any person from complying with existing laws or rules of professional conduct with respect to debt collection practices. 940 CMR 7.00 is not intended to supersede or in any way limit rights and protections provided to consumers under 114. 6 CMR 13.00, the Health Safety Net Eligible Services Regulations, and state and federal foreclosure laws. To the extent that any provision of 940 CMR 7.00 is specifically inconsistent with the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct, as currently appearing in Supreme Judicial Court Rule 3:07 and then only to the extent of the inconsistency, 940 CMR 7.00 is not applicable. Provisions of 940 CMR 7.00 that contain language substantively identical to provisions within 15 U.S.C. § 1692, et seq., the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, should be interpreted consistently with that Act.
