An alleged debtor who prevailed in a 2010 collection suit sued a Carrollton firm and its client, alleging violations of consumer debt-collection laws and more. On May 4, the firm and the business denied all the allegations.
In the plaintiffs’ March 19 original petition in Salas, et al. v. Michael J. Scott PC, et al., Joe and Nicki Salas claim that, despite a court-ordered take-nothing judgment in Joe Salas’ favor in the 2010 debt-collection suit, Carrollton firm Michael J. Scott PC filed an abstract of judgment in a Taylor County Justice Court, stating the firm’s client had won a favorable judgment and Joe Salas owed $7,697.
