As Fair Debt Collection Practices lawyers, we participate in cases that violate The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Although state debt collection statutes govern most abuses by debt collectors in debt collection activities, sometimes legal representation is required. For example, deceptive trade practices statutes may provide remedies in situations that are not covered by these debt collection statutes. Most debt collection statutes, however, do not cover some forms of debt collection, such as foreclosures, repossessions, and evictions, but a deceptive trade practices statute may apply. Moreover, deceptive trade practices statutes may also permit a consumer to bring a cause of action against a creditor for debt collection practices of an independent agency hired by the creditor. Several cases have dealt with issues regarding misrepresentations made by debt collectors or deceptive agreements proposed by debt collectors.
To ensure we remain at the forefront of Fair Debt Collection practices, lawyers at SHB work diligently to stay apprised of the latest cases, defense strategies and decisions.
