Schnur v. Allied Interstate LLC
Filed: October 20, 2017 ◆§ 1:17-cv-06123
A New York woman claims in a proposed class action lawsuit that defendant Allied Interstate LLC failed to clearly identify her creditor and communicate the amount of her alleged debt, in supposed violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
A New York woman has filed suit against Allied Interstate LLC over alleged Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) violations. According to the suit, the plaintiff received a collection letter from Allied Interstate that listed “Re: CARECREDIT” followed by two statements noting that “Synchrony Bank” was her creditor. The suit claims the defendant neglected its FDCPA obligation to clearly identify the plaintiff’s creditor because it mentioned an entity known as “CARECREDIT,” but failed to provide any explanation of CARECREDIT’s relationship to the debt or to Synchrony.
On top of that, the suit claims the letter also indicated that the amount listed would increase due to interest but failed to provide the interest rate, date of accrual, or any other information needed for the plaintiff to calculate the true amount of her debt.
