Enhanced Recovery Company Facing Lawsuit Over ‘Misleading’ Debt Dispute Info

Bluming v. Enhanced Recovery Company, Llc

Filed: June 15, 2018 ◆§ 1:18cv3517

A consumer claims Enhanced Recovery Company sent him a collection notice in which it unlawfully intimated he could only dispute his debt in writing.

Defendant(s)

Enhanced Recovery Company, LLC

Law(s)

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

State(s)

New York

Enhanced Recovery Company, LLC is on the receiving end of a proposed class action that claims the debt collector misled a consumer concerning his right to dispute an alleged debt. According to the lawsuit, the defendant sent the man a collection letter in June 2017 that directed him to “[s]end correspondence to” the company’s mailing address. Though the letter supposedly listed a phone number as well, the case claims the number “refers only to payments.”

The lawsuit argues that the plaintiff, upon reading the letter, would assume he could only dispute the debt in writing, which, according to the case, is misleading because the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act does not require that disputes be made in writing.
