Jury hits debt collector with $38M judgment

BALTIMORE —A Baltimore jury hit a Las Vegas debt collector with a $38 million judgment, the largest judgment against a debt collector in Maryland history.

The money from the class-action lawsuit will be split among 1,589 people.

"What we asked the jury to do was to not just return the illegal money that was taken, but to also return the profits that were made from that money," said Phillip Robinson, an attorney with the Consumer Law Center LLC.

Robinson said debt collection company LVNV Funding LLC re-invested the money collected from Maryland residents.

"The jury did the right thing and found for damages," Robinson said.
