Is The FDCPA An Almost Free Pass For Debt Collectors To Break The Law?
The punitive aspects of the FDCPA are basically a $1000.00 violation for each infraction so suits against debt collectors usually end up being settled out of court between lawyers for aggrieved consumrs and third party debt collectors. The more serious monetary damages arise out state court proceedings. Here is a link to a recent case involving unbelievable debt collector abuse of a consumer: http://bit.ly/9GTQAG . You be the judge about how awful the conduct of these collectors was. One of them was a convicted felon who did hard time.
So I’m asking you if you think that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a “wussie law” written to appease lobbyists or if it is worth the paper it is printed on? Send those cards and letters.
