Trans Continental Credit & Collection Corp. is on the receiving end of a proposed class action lawsuit that accuses the company of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act violations. According to the complaint, the defendant sent the plaintiff a collection letter that included a section written in Spanish, which the suit says the plaintiff did not understand and “overshadowed” the required disclosure explaining consumers’ FDCPA rights.

The case further notes that the letter listed the plaintiff’s “Interest” as $0.00 but failed to specify whether the amount would increase in the future.
