Alleged Violations against Sandlin Law Group
According to PACER, on or around October 12, 2017, Sandlin Law Group sent a collection letter to an Indiana consumer seeking payment for a debt related to an apartment lease. It requested, among other things, a payment of attorney fees, but the consumer insisted that her lease did not support this award and that it was illegal under Indiana law.
Feeling harassed by Sandlin Law Group, she hired a consumer lawyer and sued the firm for demanding a payment that was neither legal nor included in the original creditor agreement.
The matter was later settled.
