The phrase I like best in the description of the course is ". . . how to avoid liability for violations of the act.." So now you know there is a class available to them teaching how to skirt the law and not pay for it.

Yes, no doubt teaching them to skirt the law. Sounds like he's ripping off the collectors themselves. He makes it appear like he's cramming about two years or more of law school into an hour and a half for $199. They collectors will always screw up, no matter how many boggus seminars they want to take.
