Déjà vu: Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co. in Another FDCPA Class Action
Last Updated on May 8, 2018
Bitzko v. Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., LPA
Filed: April 25, 2017 ◆§ 1:17-cv-00458-BKS-DJS
A proposed class action against recurring defendant Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., LPA that the collection agency and law firm violated federal debt collection laws.
A New York woman claims in a proposed class action against recurring defendant Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., LPA that the collection agency and law firm violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The plaintiff alleges the defendant sent her a collection notice in which it misleadingly represented that the letter was from attorneys and that attorneys were meaningfully involved in overseeing her account.
The primary issue with the defendant’s alleged conduct, the lawsuit says, is that proposed class members received collection notices from Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co. that contained no disclaimer regarding the “lack of meaningful attorney involvement” in the collection of consumer debts. The case describes the defendant’s alleged conduct as merely a method used by the law firm to, either explicitly or implicitly, threaten legal action against the debtor.
