Credit Access Business rules for 2017 that you need to know!

Credit Access Business rules for 2017 that you need to know!

by The CAB Man Texas on January 13, 2017

New Technical Rules for 2017 you should be aware of.  Did you know there are new rules related to the application for new licenses, transferring a license, and criminal history of CAB owners?  Much of this was covered during CAB Consulting’s “CAB II” project that many clients and members took advantage of. 

*The language for rules and transfers removes the part mentioning that you need to wait on the OCCC’s approval to operate a CAB while the license is being transferred. The transformer assumes all responsibility of the license until the license has been transferred to the transferee. 

**Criminal History can affect license holders. This affects anyone with a State license from a concealed handgun license to a Credit Access Business license. In the eyes of Texas, it is a privilege to maintain a Texas license, and therefore license holders must be law abiding residents.  

Here are several areas of infraction that could compromise your CAB: 

Theft, assault, any offense that involves misrepresentation, deceptive practices or making false or misleading statements. 

Any offense that involves breach of trust or other fiduciary duty.

Any criminal violation of a statute governing credit transactions or debt collection. 

Failure to file a government report, filing a false report or tampering with a government record.
