Lawsuit May Expand Consumer Protection In Ohio
The case, a class action in Cuyahoga County involving Helen Liggins, May Co. and Professional Services Unlimited Inc., could broaden the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act to cover collection agencies. A pretrial ruling by Judge Bernard Friedman held the act reaches from initial sale to full debt payment, potentially making collection firms liable for deceptive practices. The attorney general supports the suit, which argues two collection tactics violate the act: a post judgment pre garnishment notice and a marshal enforcement form implying official backing.
