Client of Lemberg Law, LLC, Stephanie Powers, brings this class action lawsuit against Receivables Performance Management, LLC. Powers claims Receivables Performance Management engaged in repeated violations of Massachusetts debt collection laws. She seeks damages and an injunction to stop these practices.
The Complaint
Plaintiff Stephanie Powers filed a Class Action Complaint against Receivables Performance Management, LLC. Powers alleges that the company violated the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act (MCPA) and Massachusetts Debt Collection Regulations (MDCR) by making excessive debt collection calls. These calls exceeded the state-regulated limit of two calls per seven-day period per debt, causing significant inconvenience and distress.
Receivables Performance Management, LLC, a business entity based in Washington with no physical presence in Massachusetts, is accused of persistently contacting Massachusetts consumers to collect debts. Powers experienced multiple unwanted calls from the company, specifically on several occasions within a short span in September 2018, despite informing them of her rights under local MA consumer protection laws.
Powers aims to represent a class of Massachusetts residents who received more than two such debt collection calls from Receivables Performance Management within any seven-day period over the past four years. She details her own harrowing experience with the company’s aggressive and non-compliant debt collection tactics.
Claims for Relief
Powers seeks several forms of relief: an injunction to prevent further violations, declaratory relief to expose the company’s misconduct to the class, actual and statutory damages, and coverage for attorney’s fees and costs. She also demands a jury trial for all counts in the complaint. The lawsuit aims to enforce Massachusetts debt collection laws more strictly and provide redress to affected consumers.
