Case ID: 3729 | Credit / Debt | 10/04/2004
A class action has been filed against debt collector Caldeway Properties, Inc. on behalf of individuals who received collection letters from Caldeway containing language alleged to violate the fair debt collection practices act. The case seeks actual and punitive damages, attorney’s fees and costs.
The case alleges that Caldeway purchased credit card debts from another creditor who had terminated the credit program and then accelerated the debts. The original creditor ceased charging interest on the debts, but Caldeway continued the interest, at a daily rate, without disclosing that it was Caldeway, and not the original creditor, charging the interest. Caldeway is alleged to have used a standard form collection letter which violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, entitling the plaintiffs to statutory damages and costs.
