A fellow named Gary Nitzkin has a blog where he mentions what appears to be an interesting FDCPA case: Following a three-day civil jury trial, a Los Angeles jury unanimously ordered debt collector Arrow Financial Services to pay Laura Nelson a total sum of $100,000.00 for false credit reporting and unfair debt collection practices. http://www.michigancollectionlawblog.com/2007/05/100000_jury_award_to_consumer.html Is anybody familiar with this case? Any way to get more info on it? Thx!
Date: 5/10/2007 Case Style: Laura Nelson v. Arrow Financial Services, LLC Case Number: CV06-1568 RGK (PLAx). Court: United States District Court for the Central District of California (Los Angeles County) www.morelaw.com
Here is what shows up in Pacer. It appears that Laura Nelson never sued Arrow directly but they were probably named as a co-defendant in her Experian or Equifax cases.

Thanks for the info. I called the Brennan Law Firm and talked with a paralegal there. She started to sound really interested in my case, until I mentioned that I'm an AZ resident living temporarily in MO. They only work with people residing in CA. She said if I want to move to CA for a little while, then give her a call.
