    I successfully sued a collection agency this year. My claims were for violations that occured during a phone call. I did not have to have a paper trail. I hired an attorney.

    I was awarded damages, much more than the attorney expected.

    It was quite fun. I hope I have another opportunity to do this in the future! I highly recommend it!

    Sorry I am not more help. Good luck to you!

    Do you remember reading where someone sued a CA and lost b/c they couldn't prove damages..(or something to that affect?)

    I think I read something like that but I can't find it when I run a search!

    MartsyGirl,

    Actually, I thought I read that exact statement in some searches I ran today. Now I cannot find it!

    I was sure that was what it said, because I was thinking that it was not correct because I just did it, but it was too late to chime in on the conversation. If I do ever come across it, I will let you know.

    Marie, I do not mean to correct you at all. I am sure you are correct also. You always are!

    The reason my info is not very helpful to you is because my damages were more in the way of "emotional" because of the way the ca rep spoke to me on the phone.
