$1000 per action or violation?

[Swede]

The debate whether the FDCPA is $1000 per action or per violation can now be put to rest. Here's a link with plenty of case law establishing that it is not per violation but per action, meaning per case. Also, don't forget that is $100 to $1000 and it's up to the discretion of the court to award the amount.

What about the FCRA?? I seem to find conflicting information on that one too. I have seen it with both per violation and per action?? Any clarification on this one?

Really? xThudx



FCRA is up to 1K per violation. FDCPA is up to 1K per ACTION.

True unfortunately.

It would be nice if the FDCPA was per violation as well.
