 | Thomas v. TransUnion - FCRA ($5.3M jury verdict)

| 11/21/03 -- Bank One (First USA) and Weinstein ordered to pay $10,5...
This is an excellent ruling in bankruptcy court. However, the conduct of Weinstein was so outrageous, a separate suit and criminal charges should be filed against Weinstein for attempting to collect the debt from the debtor's EMPLOYER and misrepresenting this personal debt as a business debt. That's the kind of fraud and extortion that should come with jail time and judgments in the millions.
A $10K judgment is NOT going to make Bank One and Weinstein stop the fraud and extortion. | Christine | 1 | 1 | 12-27-03 03:59 pm |

| Aklagi v. NationsCredit Financial Services Corporation, No. 01-2244...
"[41]
Admittedly, this statutory framework may seem troubling because it seems to disregard the significance of the fact that EquiCredit continued to report information regarding this account at a time when it knew the account was disputed. However, consumers such as the Aklagis are, in fact, entitled to some protection from such conduct. Specifically, § 1681s-2(a) prohibits a furnisher of credit information from reporting inaccurate information once it has received notice from the consumer that the information is inaccurate. § 1681s-2(a)(1)(B). However, as discussed previously, there is no private cause of action under this statute because the enforcement of subsection (a) is reserved exclusively to the Federal Trade Commission." | Christine | 1 | 1 | 12-20-03 04:34 am |
| Lowe v. Surpas Resource Corp., No. 01-2149-JWL (D.Kan. 03/27/2003)...
This is a long one, well worth reading.

| 1993 4th Circuit: Caroll v. Wolpoff & Abramson
"Carroll sued Wolpoff and Abramson alleging, among other things, that the June 11, 1990, letter violated section [**3] 1692e(11) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act because it failed to include a warning that the letter was an attempt to collect a debt and that any information obtained would be used for that purpose."
The district court granted summary judgment for Wolpoff & Abramson, the appeals court reversed and remanded for further proceedings. | Christine | 1 | 1 | 11-29-03 06:17 pm |
| 1993 3rd Circuit: E. STEVEN DUTTON, Appellee v. WOLPOFF AND ABR...
A very interesting Court of Appeals decision against Wolpoff and Abramson, collection attorneys.
They failed to include the "debt collector" notice in settlement offers after they obtained judgments on behalf of Macy's and they implied that liens existed while there were no liens. The district court jury had awarded $500 in statutory damages, and the appeals court affirmed. | Christine | 1 | 1 | 11-29-03 06:03 pm |
| 11/10/03 decision NOT to dismiss Capital One - 7th Circuit
Important: Capital One is a debt collector in this case ONLY because they purchased the charged off debt.
If you reaffirmed a delinquent debt through a Capital One credit card, follow this case.
The plaintiffs are represented by EDELMAN, COMBS & LATTURNER, LLC - http://www.edcombs.com/ - their site has a TON of great resources, rulings and opinions. | Christine | 1 | 1 | 11-25-03 10:00 pm |
| AZ Supreme Court 2002: Logan v. Forever Living Products International
Most dismissals are for "failure to state a claim." This AZ Supreme Court decision reversed the district court's dismissal. The Logans were fired by their employer after they refused to sell them their property for a low price.
The AZ Supreme Court felt that there was something seriously wrong and even though the Logans didn't refer to specific laws, they had a valid claim. | Christine | 1 | 1 | 11-16-03 09:38 pm |
| 9/16/03 Credit Research, Inc. v. Experian Information
While "NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL REPORTS" - this is an EXTREMELY important case. Not because of the decision, but because of Experian's CLAIMS to be so concerned with FCRA compliance. | Christine | 1 | 1 | 10-16-03 06:26 pm |
