My firm is filing a new Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) lawsuit against NRA Group, LLC dba National Recovery Agency for unlawful debt collection practices. The case is being filed in the Southern District of California federal court and seeks $20,000 in actual damages plus $1,000 statutory damages under federal law, $1,000 Statutory damages under state law, attorney fees and costs. The lawsuit alleges that NRA Group, LLC dba National Recovery Agency violated the federal FDCPA and California's equivalent statute, the Rosenthal Act, by attempting to collect a debt not actually owed and reporting (and later verifying as accurate) false information to Experian credit reporting agency.
Consumers who think a debt collector may be violating the law should consult immediately with a consumer attorney, particularly since the statute of limitations on Fair Debt Collection Practices Act claims is just one year.
