The plaintiffs alleged that defendants violated the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act and Judiciary Law §487 by making deceptive statements in consumer collection actions in New York state courts. The actions were alleged to be deceptive because the state court complaints falsely represented that TD Auto Finance was “not required to be licensed by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs” because it was a passive debt buyer. The parties settled the main part of the parties’ dispute and plaintiff was awarded $22,110 in attorney’s fees by the court. (Tito v. Rubin & Rothman, LLC, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 35553 (E.D.N.Y.
