Collection Agency Responds to Settlement Announcement from Cuomo

The debt collection agency that was the target of an investigation by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has responded to the announcement Tuesday from the AG’s office that a settlement agreement had been reached.

Cuomo’s office said Tuesday that Buffalo-area debt collector LHR, Inc. had agreed to a settlement in which the company would pay $125,000 in “penalties and costs” and amend its collection practices (“NY AG Settles Case Against Debt Collector for $125,000,” July 27).
