Bailey & Glasser LLP Announces Class Action Suit Against State Farm and Seattle Service Bureau for Deceptive "Amount Due" Collection Letters

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Bailey & Glasser LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company and Seattle Service Bureau d/b/a National Service Bureau, Inc. for consumer protection violations associated with requests of bogus "AMOUNTS DUE" on collection letters seeking to collect unliquidated debts on behalf of State Farm.   The case is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.   For updated information about Bailey & Glasser LLP and this lawsuit, visit www.baileyandglasser.com.

The class action lawsuit contends that misleading payment demand letters violate consumer protection laws because the amount is not liquidated, has not been adjudicated or otherwise reduced to a judgment by any court of law.  The lawsuit also contends that the attempt to collect a debt that is not yet due violates consumers' rights and constitutes a deceptive and unlawful business practice.   Unfortunately, many consumers simply pay the mischaracterized "amounts due" without regard to whether any money is really owed.

The law firm of Bailey & Glasser LLP seeks to protect your rights, especially if you were duped into submitting payment on a misleading payment demand letter.  If you have received a collections letter from National Service Bureau, Seattle Service Bureau, or State Farm claiming that you owe an "AMOUNT DUE" please visit our website at www.baileyandglasser.com.  Bailey & Glasser LLP continues to investigate these collection practices and our attorneys are available to discuss this matter with you in a free, no-obligation consultation.
