Rae Franks, Esquire, P.A. is staring down a proposed class action that alleges the law firm sent “thousands of unlawful collection letters” that did not contain federally mandated disclosures regarding consumers’ rights.

Behind the suit is a Florida consumer who claims she was e-mailed a notice from the defendant in September 2018 regarding a debt owed to Gold Coast Federal Credit Union. The case says the letter did not contain a “G-notice” disclosure explaining the consumer’s rights under Section 1692g of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, in which the law describes, among other rights, the 30-day period during which an individual could dispute or request verification of a debt.
