Solomon & Solomon, P.C. (S&S) and its president are facing a proposed class action that claims the parties violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. According to the complaint, the plaintiff received a debt collection notice from the defendants that failed to indicate that S&S is a law firm. This lack of identification, the suit argues, is “false, deceptive and misleading” because consumers are “less likely to respond to a communication from a law firm than to a communication from a collection agency.” Furthermore, the suit claims that consumers may be willing to provide personal information to a debt collector that they would not want to communicate to a law firm. From the complaint:

“A consumer has the right to know the full identity of a debt collector who seeks to obtain information about the consumer and who seeks to obtain money from the consumer."
