Mullooly, Jeffrey, Rooney & Flynn LLP is on the receiving end of a proposed class action lawsuit that claims it misled consumers by failing to clearly communicate the amount of their alleged debts. The plaintiff says she was sent a collection letter from the defendant that contained the following statement: “The balance owed may increase due to fees but no further interest will be accrued.” The suit argues that the letter neglected to indicate what fees will apply, when they will be applied, and the amount of the fees. As a result, the plaintiff was unable to determine the true amount of her balance and could have been deceived into paying more than she needed to, the complaint says.
