Tennessee debt collector accused of not identifying itself in collection letter

Late 06

MIAMI – A Broward County consumer alleges a Tennessee debt collector's actions caused her mental suffering, anguish, loss of income and more.

Kendra Jones filed a complaint on Aug. 28 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against NPAS Inc., alleging violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that in May, the defendant mailed her a letter to collect on an alleged debt. The plaintiff holds NPAS Inc. responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to identify itself as a debt collector in the letter it sent to plaintiff, a violation of the FCCPA.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks statutory and actual damages, injunction against the defendant, all legal fees and any other relief as the court deems just. She is represented by Jibrael S. Hindi of The Law Offices of Jibrael S. Hindi in Fort Lauderdale and Thomas J. Patti of Thomas-John Law PA of Fort Lauderdale.
