Nevada HOA debt collection lawsuit will proceed VEGAS INC
VEGAS INC coverage (business):A big collection agency for Nevada homeowner associations suffered a legal setback today when a federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit accusing it of abusive debt collection practices.
In denying a motion for dismissal of the lawsuit against Nevada Association Services, U.S. District Judge James Mahan said he wanted the case to proceed so he could see more information about how the company operates.
In one of the many lawsuits pitting homeowners and investors in foreclosed homes against Nevada HOAs and HOA collection agencies, attorneys for two homeowners filed suit in December against NAS and its president, David Stone, alleging violations of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and other counts.
Attorneys for the homeowners say NAS — in collecting past-due assessments and fines — has been coercing homeowners into paying inflated collection fees with phony legal documents and false threats to foreclose on their homes.
