Case ID: 3947 | Credit / Debt | 11/15/2004
A class action lawsuit has been filed in the Eastern District Court of New York against Eckerd Corporation, a Florida based retailer, for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Act. Class members seek injunctive and declaratory relief as well as damages, attorney's fees and costs.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that, in the course of offering pharmacy services and healthcare products, Eckerd sent consumers debt collection letters bearing the Eckard logo and concluding with a signature line that read, "Very truly yours, Eckerd Drugs" which stated that the consumer's check has been returned by the bank as unpaid. Class members feel that this practice violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) as CRA Security Systems, Inc. is actually sending these letters to consumers. The class period began one year prior to filing this action. At Lawcash.com, it is our goal to keep you informed about important legal cases, class actions and settlements.

On September 21, 2005, the court granted final approval of a settlement in a class action that had been filed against Indiana attorney Bart E. Carroll arising from his actions as a debt collector. The action was on behalf of all person from whom Mr. Carroll attempted to collect a debt at any time since October 8, 2002, but to whom he did not provide a debt validation notice either in the initial contact or within five days of that contact. The action alleged that Mr. Carroll had repeatedly violated the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) in his efforts to collect outstanding debts from consumers.

The parties have reached a tentative settlement in an Indiana class action against short-term loan provider E-Z Cash Systems, Inc. on behalf of all persons who took out a loan with the business and were forced to pay an interest rate that was allegedly too high in violation of state and federal lending laws.
