A class action out of New York claims Stoneleigh Recovery Associates sent the plaintiff a collection letter that did not include safe harbor language—a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The 13-page complaint also alleges the defendant did not state the date on which the “balance due” was calculated, as well as whether interest and fees would continue to accrue on the amount of debt owed. “A reasonable consumer could read the notice and be misled into believing that he or she could pay her debt in full by paying the amount listed on the notice,” when in fact the exact amount owed is unknown to the individual due to undisclosed interest and fees.
