Aldous & Associates, PLLC is on the receiving end of a proposed class action lawsuit claiming it sent a New York woman a collection letter that was missing a statement required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. According to the complaint, the plaintiff’s letter failed to inform her that her alleged debt would be assumed valid by the debt collector if she did not dispute it within 30 days.

“This failure to provide required information put [the plaintiff] at risk of only being able to invoke part of her rights,” the complaint reads, adding that she would be unaware that any dispute, including an oral dispute, would prevent the defendant from assuming her alleged debt was valid.
