Many human trafficking survivors are coerced to incur consumer debt at the behest of their traffickers. This destroys the survivor’s credit and imposes significant barriers to housing, education and other important resources. The new federal Debt Bondage Repair Act provides a mechanism for survivors of trafficking to block this adverse information from their credit reports.
This webinar will provide an overview of the federal law, its accompanying regulations, and potential pathways to implementation in Massachusetts, including the critical role to be played by government agencies in enhancing access to this process. The speakers will also address ways that legal counsel, advocates and social service providers can assist survivors in accessing this important protection in the near term.
Additionally, this program will be relevant for government lawyers, pro bono programs and all lawyers and service providers who work with survivors of human trafficking.
