Default judgement bars suit on notice
A federal judge in Baltimore has dismissed a purported class action lawsuit against Primus Automotive Financial Services and its collection lawyers, stating that the named plaintiff claims are barred by a default judgement obtained against them in state court. The federal suit, brought by Deborah L. Sheahy by Perry Hall, claimed that the collector not give proper notice to the voluntary withdrawal of their Nissan pick-up truck and violated the Maryland Consumer Debt Collection Act in the process. “We are appealing to the 4th Circuit and we hope to get a more receptive audience there,” said Russell J. Pope, Sheahy’s lawyer.
