Brandon Thompson v. Penn Credit Corporation
Date: 03-13-2023
Case Number: 0:22-cv-60959
Judge: Raag Singhal
Court: United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Broward County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Adam Harrison Settle
Description:
Fort Lauderdale, Florida consumer credit lawyer represented Plaintiff who sued Defendant on a Fair Debt Collection Act violation theory.
15 U.S.C. 1692 provides:
(b) Inadequacy of laws
Existing laws and procedures for redressing these injuries are inadequate to protect consumers.
(c) Available non-abusive collection methods
Means other than misrepresentation or other abusive debt collection practices are available for the effective collection of debts.
(d) Interstate commerce
Abusive debt collection practices are carried on to a substantial extent in interstate commerce and through means and instrumentalities of such commerce. Even where abusive debt collection practices are purely intrastate in character, they nevertheless directly affect interstate commerce.
(e) Purposes
It is the purpose of this subchapter to eliminate abusive debt collection practices by debt collectors, to insure that those debt collectors who refrain from using abusive debt collection practices are not competitively disadvantaged, and to promote consistent State action to protect consumers against debt collection abuses.
