Case ID: 2921 | Credit / Debt | 08/20/2004
A national class action has been filed in New York against collection agency DPL Associates Ltd on behalf of all consumers who have received collection letters from DPL that require consumers to dispute the validity of the debt in writing or do not give the consumer the name and contact information for the creditor that has employed DPL to pursue the debt. The consumers claim that these letters violate the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Consumers are seeking statutory damages and declaratory relief.
This action arises as the result of the mailing of collection letters by DPL Associates. The consumers claim that the language of the letters sent by DPL requires consumers to dispute the validity of the debt in writing. This, according to the consumers, violates the FDCPA, which does not require a dispute to be in writing. Additionally, the consumers allege that the letters do not inform the recipients of their right to dispute a portion of the debt, which the consumers claim is a further violation of federal law. Finally, the consumers claim that the letters do not provide any information about the creditor who is trying to collect the debt--the creditor's identity or contact information.
