SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 11 – Citibank sold its loan to Hangsoon Lee to Absolute Resolution Investments LCC. Soon at her Flushing, Queens apartment Hangsoon Lee got a single spaced debt collections letter she says violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
On August 11, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
There is a discovery dispute - the defendants want to depose Hangsoon Lee but do not want to pay for a Korean interpreter.
Judge Woods noted the Second Circuit practice of payments, and emphasized that when in doubt, an interpreter should be used.
The case is Lee v. Pressler, Felt & Warshaw, LLP, 21-cv-1348 (Woods)
