NACA filed an amicus brief in the Washington Supreme Court to support the plaintiff’s position that a debt collector violated Washington’s consumer protection laws and the FDCPA when it failed to notify a debtor who owed money on medical debt of the possibility to secure financial assistance under the state’s charity medical care protections. NACA’s brief pointed out the broad national impact of medical debt on consumers, particularly individuals who are low-income and/or persons of color, and the need for debt collectors who collect on medical debt to provide debtors with information, as required by Washington law, regarding all available charity care opportunities.
