Covarrubias v. Zee Law Group CA2/5
In order to recover a debt with a principal amount of approximately $1,700, a law firm representing a collection agency recorded a judgment lien on the home of the debtor’s parents. The law firm then fought the parents’ attempts to remove the lien, which the trial court eventually declared void more than three years after the attorney recorded it. We consider whether the record on appeal establishes the trial court erred in finding, following an unreported bench trial, that the collection agency and its counsel were liable for violating the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
