Chase Bank N.A. v. Vincent L. Leggio, Court of Appeal, Second Circuit, State of Louisiana, Civil Case, Docket Number 43,567-CA

NACA is concerned about the increasing use of private, secret arbitration proceedings before the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) to collect consumer debts. In this particular case, NACA is concerned with the creditors practices of attempting to confirm NAF arbitration awards against Louisiana consumers who did not consent to arbitration– including consumers who are the victims of identity theft or mistaken identity, and who do not owe the underlying debt.
