A New York woman has filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Professional Placement Services, LLC claiming the debt collector failed to specify the amount of her alleged debt. According to the suit, the plaintiff received a collection letter from the defendant that contained the following statement: “While the amount above is your total balance as of the date of this letter, the total balance on the day you pay may be greater as a result of fees and interest that continue to accrue.” The complaint argues that the letter neglects to provide the recipient with any way to calculate the interest or extra charges, and therefore fails to specify the true amount of her alleged debt, in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
