Filed: August 30, 2017 ◆§ 2:17-cv-06571
Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., L.P.A. is on the receiving end of a proposed class action lawsuit alleging it failed to clearly communicate in a collection letter the amount of a consumer’s supposed debt.
Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., L.P.A. is on the receiving end of a proposed class action lawsuit alleging it failed to clearly communicate in a collection letter the amount of a consumer’s supposed debt. The plaintiff, a New Jersey resident, claims he received a letter containing the following statement: “Balance Due as of January 19, 2017: $15,286.52.” He says the letter then informed him that “As of the date of this letter you owe the amount listed above.”
Citing possible violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the suit argues that the defendant failed to mention whether interest or other fees may be added to the above balance, which the case says left the plaintiff unable to calculate the true amount of his alleged debt.
