A proposed class action filed in New York claims Forster & Garbus LLP violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) when it allegedly sent the plaintiff a collection notice that failed to mention whether the balance owed was continually accruing interest and fees. The case claims that due to the defendant’s alleged conduct, the plaintiff “was left uncertain as to whether the balance due was accruing interest,” and if it would remain static or increase due to undisclosed fees. Similarly, a debt collector’s failure to disclose whether a debt amount is accruing interest could lead the unsophisticated consumer to mistakenly believe payment of the amount listed on a collection notice would satisfy the debt.
