Fondacaro v. Overton, Russell, Doerr & Donovan, LLP et al.
Filed: August 30, 2017 ◆§ 1:17-cv-00964-DNH-DJS
A proposed class action filed in New York alleges law firm Overton, Russell, Doerr & Donovan violated federal debt collection law.
New York
A proposed class action filed in New York alleges Overton, Russell, Doerr & Donovan, LLP and a partner at the law firm overstepped the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) when it sent a collection notice over supposedly unpaid real estate taxes that failed to state the amount of debt owed in a clear and non-confusing manner.
The case says the collection notice stated:
“Accelerated Balance: $86.308.44 + interest of $10.902 per day
Past Due Balance: $9,786.08 + costs & interest”
The lawsuit argues the defendants’ letter to the plaintiff is not compliant with FDPCA regulations because, while it notes an “accelerated balance,” it failed to disclose the amount of interest and fees, as well as the date said interest begun accruing.
