New York
McCarthy, Burgess & Wolff, Inc. is the defendant in a proposed class action filed by a New York man who alleges the debt collector misled him concerning his right to dispute a purported debt. According to the complaint, the defendant sent the man a collection letter that instructed him to “send payment and correspondence to” a physical address, indicating that if he were to dispute the debt, he must submit the dispute in writing. The suit argues that this contradicts debt dispute requirements under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which allegedly allow for oral disputes.
