The Federal Trade Commission has settled claims against a debt collection company that used false and misleading statements to defraud consumers. Whitewing Financial Group, a Houston, Texas- based debt collection company, is accused of violating both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Federal Trade Commission Act. The company and three co-defendants have agreed to a $150,000 fine and will refrain from committing similar acts of consumer fraud henceforth.
outfit, Whitewing Financial, is accused of violating federal law by committing the following acts:
The company purchased and attempted to collect on very old debts, which were, by and large, beyond statutory limitations and too old to appear on consumers' credit reports. Some had also been discharged in bankruptcy. The company sent validation letters as required by law, but then made contradictory and misleading statements over the phone to targeted consumers. The company pressured consumers to pay on these debts before they received proper notification, confused them about their legal rights, and more.
Consumer fraud class action lawsuits are specifically designed to help individuals who have been similarly aggrieved to pursue a common goal – namely to hold the deceptive business accountable for any damages suffered. Thus, consumers who have been defrauded by a corporation or other entity may file a consumer fraud class action lawsuit on behalf of themselves and others to seek compensation for their shared grievance.
