Bendez v. United Recovery Systems, LP
Filed: May 8, 2017 ◆§ 2:17-cv-02791
United Recovery Systems, LP, is the defendant in two separate lawsuits alleging that it violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
United Recovery Systems, LP, is the defendant in two separate lawsuits alleging that it violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Both lawsuits were filed on the same day and claim similar violations. According to the suits, the collection letters sent to the plaintiffs by United Recovery contained a “current amount due,” but did not indicate whether the amount would increase due to interest or additional fees. The suits argue that the letters failed to comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by neglecting to clearly communicate to the least sophisticated consumer the amount of his or her alleged debt.
The complaints also claim that the letters contained “non-interest charges or fees,” that were listed as $0.00 in one letter and $35.00 in the other. The suits argue that United Recovery is not permitted to charge non-interest fees or to imply that it has the right to do so.
