While defendants in consumer-related lawsuits may often claim suits are meritless or filed in bad faith, it’s not so often that a court agrees. It is even less frequent for a court to enter sanctions against a consumer’s attorney, but that’s precisely what happened in the Eastern District of Wisconsin this week, where at least one Judge appears to be tired of frivolous actions and sloppy motions practice.
The Cases:
In March, we told you about two cases in the Eastern District of Wisconsin which were dismissed through scathing orders written by Judge Brett H. Ludwig. The cases, filed by Paul Strouse and Thomas Napierala, are Herron v. Credit One Bank, et al., case #20-cv-0844 (E.D. WI) and Butler vs. 1st Franklin Financial Corporation, et al., Case #20-cv-0842 (E.D. WI). In each case, the consumer filed suit against Enhanced Recovery Company, LLC (ERC) and other defendants alleging all defendants failed to correct and report accurate credit information.
