ARIZONA Consumer Sues Allied Interstate for FDCPA Violations
/We recently sued Allied Interstate LLC on behalf of an Arizona consumer for Allied's continuing attempts to collect a student loan debt that had been previously settled. The Arizona consumer had settled his legal obligation on the debt over four years previously, but Allied continued to try to collect the debt.
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"), a collection agency that continues to collect on a debt that it knows has been satisfied violates the FDPCA.
The FDCPA provides the Arizona consumer with the right to collect statutory damages of up to $1,000, plus any actual damages suffered. The FDCPA also makes the debt collection agency, Allied Interstate in this case, pay for your attorney's fees and all the court costs.
If you are being harassed by a debt collection agency, feel free to call attorney Floyd W. Bybee to see if you have a claim. The call consultation is free with no obligation.
