Attorneys representing victims of unfair debt collection tactics may have two avenues of redress, and the choice of one or the other could have a significant impact on both the client’s recovery and the lawyer’s fee, a pair of unrelated cases last week illustrate.
If the claim is brought under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the client can normally recover no more than $1,000, but the attorney is entitled to fees and costs that typically far exceed the client’s recovery.
