Specifically, the lawsuit says the defendant’s collection notice could be confusing to the unsophisticated consumer because of the inconsistency created by demanding settlement payment within 30 days, while, at the same time, informing the debtor of his or her right to demand verification of the debt within 30 days. “The unsophisticated consumer would have no idea how to both seek verification of the debt and preserve the settlement offer,” the lawsuit argues.
