SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau issued the advisory opinion
entitled ``Debt Collection Practices (Regulation F); Deceptive and
Unfair Collection of Medical Debt'' on its website on October 1, 2024
and published the advisory opinion in the Federal Register on October
4, 2024. As issued and published, the advisory opinion stated that it
was to be applicable as of December 3, 2024.
To allow sufficient time to brief issues raised in pending
litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the
CFPB is revising the applicable date of the advisory opinion to January
2, 2025. The advisory opinion itself creates no binding legal
obligations, and the revision of the applicable date does not affect
regulated entities' responsibility to comply with the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act as enacted by Congress and described in the
advisory opinion.

Director, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
