Rebecca, did you contact the consumer protection office
in regards to whether or not Credigy is suspended from collecting? I
was wondering because Credigy recently came up on my credit history, an
enormous amount for me and I have never used that kind of credit. I
called and left a contact mess. Any news-- let us
know.

Verdict Report: Fausto et al v. Credigy Services
Corporation et al Case 5:07-cv-05658-JW.
Plaintiff???s attorneys: David Humphreys and Luke Wallace of Humphreys
Wallace Humphreys, P.C. Tulsa, OK; Bal??m Letona, Santa Cruz, CA and Ron
Wilcox, San Jose, CA.
Defendant???s attorneys: Tomio Narita and Jeffrey Topor of Simmons &
Narita, San Francisco, CA; John Gillespie and Jeff Lucas of Stewart and
Associates, Atlanta, GA.
San Jose California Federal Jury Returns Verdict totaling $500,000,
against Credigy Services Corporation. The verdict consisted of $100,000
in actual damages and $400,000 in punitive damages. We are informed that
the verdict is the largest under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
on behalf of a consumer who owed the debt. The Fausto's are entitled to
an award of attorney fees and costs as prevailing party under federal
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the California Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act.
Manuel Fausto opened a Wells Fargo charge card at a local branch in
1992. The account had a credit limit of about $1,000. Manuel Fausto and
his wife Luz made monthly payments on the account as agreed but the
balance kept increasing. After asking (and being declined) at the local
Wells Fargo branch to have the interest on the account "frozen" so the
balance could be paid off, the Faustos received help from a local
business that promised to negotiate a discounted payoff of credit card
balances. The Faustos had no other credit card debt but paid the Wells
Fargo account off in 1998 or 1999 with two money orders delivered to the
local debt negotiator. Seven years later, in August of 2006, the Faustos
received a phone call at their home from a debt collector calling from
Credigy Services Corp. The Faustos had no dealings with and did not
recognize Credigy as someone they owed. The Faustos also received a
letter from Credigy claiming that almost $17,000 was due on the account.
The Fausto's made an appointment with a non profit legal clinic, the
Watsonville Law Center, who wrote a letter for Mr. Fausto to sign
demanding that Credigy provide a copy of the contract proving they owned
the debt and some proof that the debt was actually unpaid. Credigy
responded with a form letter restating the balance claimed due. The
Fausto's brought the letter back to the Watsonville Law Center. WLC
wrote a letter for Mr Fausto informing Credigy that since they ignored
the request for information, that the Fausto's demanded under federal
law that Credigy Cease and Desist all further contact with the Faustos.
Credigy continued to collect on the account, writing numerous letters
and calling the Faustos home over 90 times. The collectors were calling
from a Credigy affililate in Brazil and made repeated false threats to
the Fausto's that Credigy would take their home and paycheck even though
the time to sue had expired years before Credigy's first phone call to
the Fausto's home. Mrs. Fausto tape recorded the last phone call from
Credigy which documented false claims that the account had been reviewed
in the legal department that the account was a joint debt owed by Mrs.
Fausto also, that Credigy was a "Credit Agency" and that Credigy would
report the account "forever" on Mr. Faustos credit file. Credigy's
training manuals suggested to the Brazillian collectors, who were paid
the equivalent of $400 monthly salary, to use the "coercion method,"
that credit reporting is the most important financial information for
American consumers and to tell the consumer that their life will not be
the same if the debt remains on their credit report. Credigy sued Mrs.
Fausto claiming that its debt collection phone calls were confidential
and seeking damages. Credigy admitted receiving the written cease and
desist demand (sent certified mail) but claimed it made a ???Bona Fide
Error??? in continuing its collection efforts. The jury heard testimony
that the ???Dispute Resolution Team??? was confronted with stacks of
dispute letters, was understaffed and told that no more resources would
be made available because it cost the company money. Two employees who
testified left Credigy because of physical problems they attributed to
the stress of their jobs.
The collection calls only stopped after a lawsuit was filed. Credigy had
scheduled the calls to continue until the year 2020. No records from
any source, including Wells Fargo existed as to what was charged and
what had been paid on the account. A consumer from Illinois (a victim
of ID theft) and another from New Mexico (former husbands account)
testified that Credigy ignored their request for proof that the debt was
owed and that Credigy continued collecting upon them after having
received cease and desist demands.
Credigy???s trial strategy was to attack the credibility of the Faustos
and their nine children. Mr. Fausto had a second grade education and
Mrs. Fausto received a sixth grade education. Neither spoke English.
Credigy issued subpoenas to depose the majority of their children and
sought banking, mortgage and medical records of them and their children.
The trial court permitted Credigy to elicit testimony that Mrs. Fausto
had been charged with driving without a license and hit and run of a
child on a bicycle and that Mr. Fausto had been cited for driving with a
suspended license and that the police arrived at his home to arrest him
during the time period Credigy was making its collection calls. Credigy
also introduced evidence that the Fausto???s borrowed a significant sum
against their home in the name of their oldest son and that the house
was the subject of a foreclosure several months after the collection
calls stopped.
The Credigy defendant's filed nine separate motions for summary judgment
and withdrew four of them following receipt of Plaintiff's responses. In
denying the remaining five motions, the trial court invited a motion for
sanctions to be filed because of defendant apparent efforts to
unnecessarily multiply the proceedings
