Love, Beal, Nixon - Midland Credit Management responding to cindy, tulsa Oklahoma City Oklahoma
I, too, am dealing with love, beal, & nixon-midland credit management. I read your report with interest.
I didn't know it was illegal to assess attorney fees prior to judgement on credit card debt. I was assessed a fee of $200. Please contact me if your attorney wants information or if you are pursuing a class action suit.

More than likely, in the contract you signed for the CC, you agreed to pay "reasonable attorney fees".
The court ruled in Spear v. Brennan (Brennan was a lawyer suing Spears for a debt, Spears lost and appealed the ruling):
Contrary to Spears' apparent position, Brennan was not prohibited as a matter of law from seeking a contingent fee, but he was required to present other objective evidence of reasonableness in order for the attorney's fees to be added to the judgment against Spears.
LP&N can demand all they want, but they have to show that the amount is "reasonable."
Your attorney should be aware of this ruling...
