Phone 07

ORLANDO — A woman is suing Credit Protection Association L.P., a debt collector, alleging violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Flor Vadiz-Seidle filed a complaint on Dec. 27 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida Orlando Division against Texas-based Credit Protection Association L.P., alleging that the debt collector called her more than 100 times in an attempt to collect an alleged debt.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that since August, she suffered damages from receiving numerous collection calls. The plaintiff holds Credit Protection Association L.P. responsible because the defendant allegedly used an automatic telephone dialing system to call the plaintiff and called despite her demand that the calls stop.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks statutory damages, punitive damages, actual damages, all legal fees plus interest and any other relief as this court deems just. She is represented by Amanda J. Allen and William Peerce Howard of The Consumer Protection Firm, PLLC in Tampa.
