A federal claim can continue versus a Virginia-based law office that prepared and sent out overdue lease notifications on behalf of property manager customers after a judge concluded that it served as a financial obligation collector for the functions of the Fair Financial Obligation Collection Practices Act.
The complainants, Jennifer Lord, Toniraye Moss and Ebony Reddicks, who rented houses in Roanoke and Hopewell, Virginia, raised both class actions and private claims versus Senex Law. In explaining the company’s organization design, the complainants declared that a property owner initially notified Senex of the list of accounts that were supposedly overdue.
