Case Style:
Janalyn Conley v. SnapPays Mobile, Inc., d/b/a Papaya Payments
Case Number: 2:23-cv-09655
Judge: Stephen V. Wilson
Court: United States District Court for the Central District of California (Los Angeles County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Albert T. Liou
Description:
Los Angeles, California Fair Debt Collect Practice Act violation lawyer represented the Plaintiff.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law that prohibits debt collectors from using unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices to collect consumer debts. The FDCPA went into effect in March 1978.
Here are some of the things the FDCPA prohibits:
Contacting debtors at odd hours
Repeatedly calling debtors on the phone
Threatening legal action that isn't actually planned
Telling others about a debtor's debts
Lying to debtors
Making debtors pay more than they owe
Threatening debtors with arrest, jail time, property liens, or wage garnishment
The FDCPA applies to debts incurred for personal, family, or household purposes, but not to business debts. It also doesn't generally apply to the original creditor or business the debt was owed to.
Debtors can request to stop debt collectors from calling their home phones by sending a letter to the debt collector. It's a good idea to send the letter by certified mail with a return receipt.
