Hamilton Law Group, PC is on the receiving end of a proposed class action filed by a New York consumer who alleges the company sent a collection letter that failed to clearly convey his amount of debt.

The letter, which was received by the plaintiff in October 2017, failed to disclose that the obligation was accruing interest, the suit claims. As such, the notice allegedly did not provide the plaintiff with enough pertinent information—such as the interest rate or when interest will be applied to the account—to allow him to determine the debt balance. From the complaint:

“The Letter, because of the aforementioned failures, would render the least sophisticated consumer unable to determine the amount of her debt because the consumer would not know whether interest would continue to accrue, or whether the amount of the debt was static.”
