Exclusion of the $500,000 Communications Settlement
A class-action lawsuit was filed against Bank America after it was alleged to have sent consumers account communications late at night. The plaintiff claimed that the Bank of America violated Florida’s Consumer Collection Practices Act.
In a published article in The Washington Examiner, the law restricts certain conduct when attempting to collect consumer debts, but the bank denied any wrongdoing. Meanwhile, they agreed to pay an amount of $500,000 settlement.
