BECKLEY — A consumer is suing a financing company, citing alleged intentional infliction of emotional distress and violation of telephone harassment statutes.
Brian White filed a complaint in Raleigh Circuit Court against Wells Fargo Dealer Services for alleged violation of the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act.
According to the complaint, after White became allegedly in arrears to the defendant, it began to engage in collection of debt by coercion, engaging in unreasonable, oppressive or abusive conduct. White claims his phone rang repeatedly or continuously or at unusual times without his consent or at times known to be inconvenient, with the intent to annoy, abuse or oppress him.
The plaintiff holds Wells Fargo Dealer Services responsible because it allegedly contacted him with the intent to harass and used an electronic communication device to make contact after he asked them to stop.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment for actual and statutory damages, cost of litigation, compensatory and punitive damages, and such other relief as the Court shall deem meet and proper under the circumstances. He is represented by Steven R. Broadwater and Ruperto Y. Dumapit of Hamilton, Burgess, Young & Pollard, PLLC in Fayetteville.
