Ms. Lee filed a counter-claim class action against Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC for these alleged violations. After several years of discovery, Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC agreed to settle the claim on behalf of the class by making over $3 million in relief available to the class. Mr. Cates was co-lead counsel on behalf of the class. – December 3, 2020
