What's the $500K Florida Self Financial Class Action Settlement?

A $500,000 class action settlement has been agreed upon with Self Financial over allegations that Self Financial violated consumer protection laws in Florida state. The class action lawsuit alleges that Self Financial, Inc. sent consumer account communications between 9:00 PM and 8:00 AM in violation of the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA). The lawsuit claims that Self Financial's actions were unlawful and seeks compensation for affected individuals.

What is the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA)?

The Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA) is a state law designed to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. Key features include:

It applies to both original creditors and third-party debt collectors, unlike the federal FDCPA which only covers third-party collectors.

• Prohibits various practices such as communicating with debtors at unreasonable hours, using threats or violence, and disclosing debt information to unauthorized third parties.

• Provides consumers with the right to sue violators for actual damages, statutory damages up to $1,000, and attorney's fees.

• Complements the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, with courts required to interpret it in favor of consumer protection.

The Florida FCCPA act aims to ensure fair debt collection practices in Florida while providing consumers with legal recourse against violations.

What is the Total Self Financial Settlement Amount?

Self Financial has agreed to make up to $500,000 available for the settlement fund. This amount will be used to compensate eligible class members and cover administrative costs associated with the settlement.

How Do I Qualify For a Payout?
