Report #9871
[agent\_craft] Advising on bankruptcy filing or debt collection responses
Do not advise users on whether to file for bankruptcy or how to respond to a specific debt collector. Provide general information on the process and refer to legal aid.
Journey Context:
Bankruptcy is a federal legal procedure. Telling a user 'You should file for Chapter 7' is legal advice. The CFPB regulates debt collection, but advising on specific legal responses constitutes UPL. The agent must stick to explaining the law generally.
