Diversified Recovery Bureau, LLC and Debt Management Partners, LLC have been named as defendants in a proposed class action that accuses the debt collectors of misinforming a consumer of her supposed debt amount. The plaintiff says she received a collection letter from the defendants noting that she owed a “balance” of $1433.33 and warned that “because of interest, late charges and other charges that may vary from day to day, the above amount due on the day you pay may be greater.” According to the case, the defendants were fully aware that the amount would “not vary at all,” yet included the threat of a balance increase to coerce the plaintiff into paying as soon as possible – a “deceptive collection tactic” that potentially violates federal law.
