Case decision on offer of judgment in FDCPA lawsuit

Описание: http://www.alabamaconsumerlawblog.com...

This is a 10 minute video review of the actual court opinion in Payne v. Progressive Financial (April 7, 2014) which the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals issued. This opinion reverses what the trial judge did by saying the offer of judgment by the defendant debt collector did not make the case "moot" or meaningless and did not make the court lose power or "jurisdiction" over the case.

Offers of judgment are commonly used (mis-used) by defendant debt collectors when sued under the FDCPA.

This is a good opinion discussing one way these are mis-used by not taking care of the Plaintiff/Consumer's actual damages caused by the debt collector's violation of the law.
