    Default FDCPA Violations, $1000 Bucks

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: any state

    there are many posts here regarding fdcpa violations and fining a ca up to a 1000 bucks for the violation, has ANYONE EVER received ANYTHING from a ca for a fdcpa violation?? it is my understanding that it takes quite a bit of trouble to pursue this, i am sure no good lawyer would do this on consignment, so the debtor would have to put up money to even pursue this, and odds are great he wouldnt see a dime. so essentially the ca,s and jdbs KNOW you wont file or pursue action,and thats why they flagrantly violate the fdcpa. So, to tell someone thats a violation of fdcpa is really meaningless and uselesss info to the troubled debtor, Unless a lawyer would use a violation in conjuction with a debt negotiation, to get a debt lowered threatening legal acion, i dont see the ca,s or jdb,s even caring about the violations.they know no one will pursue,

    Why would you consider that the fine would go to you?

    Mine WAS an intelligent answer.

    Fines levied against a business are not yours to claim UNLESS a specific statute says that will be the case.

    Since the government is really not into using THEIR lawyers to make YOU rich, I wanted you to post the statute that said otherwise.

    Fines go to the government... not you.

    Now, if you are asking about a CIVIL suit against a company that violates FDCPA, that is a different animal.
