Case Details
A case arising out of the repossession of the plaintiffs’ vehicle. Plaintiffs alleged that the defendant converted their property, violated Massachusetts repossession laws and the federal Fair Debt Collection Practice Act, and that these violations constituted unfair and deceptive acts under M.G.L. c. 93A. Plaintiffs demanded $35,000.00 in addition to approximately $1,500.00 in attorney fees.
Additional Notes
The contract included an arbitration clause. After a single-day arbitration hearing, the arbitrator’s award to the plaintiff was limited to $3,980. The arbitrator further awarded $1,326.67 in attorney fees which were nullified by the application of a $15,000 settlement offset from the plaintiffs’ settlement with co-defendant S.N.A.R.E., resulting in no attorney fees to the plaintiffs’ attorney.
