(CN) - A class action against a debt purchaser, law firm and process-service company, which allegedly conspired to obtain millions of dollars in default judgments through "sewer service," can proceed to trial after a federal judge in New York upheld most of the claims. |
The plaintiffs claim that the law firm Mel S. Harris & Associates obtained default judgments against them for failure to answer collections complaints, but the alleged debtors say they never knew about the court dates because they were not served with summons and complaints as required by law.[/QUOTE]

The debt-purchasing company Leucadia National and shell companies L-Credit and LR Credit filed over 100,000 consumer debt collection actions since 2006 in New York City civil court. The class action claims the Mel S. Harris & Associates law firm represented Leucadia 99 percent of the time, and Leucadia regularly hired the Samserv process-serving agency. |
U.S. District Judge Denny Chin noted from the complaint that a single Mel Harris employee named Todd Fabacher signed 40,000 affidavits claiming the debt claims were accurate.
[/SIZE] "Assuming 260 business days a year, Fabacher had to have personally (and purportedly knowledgeably) issued an average of 20 affidavits of merit per hour, i.e., one every three minutes, over a continuous eight-hour day," Chin wrote in the Dec. 29 ruling.[/QUOTE]
