BILL NUMBER:S2454 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to consumer credit transactions PURPOSE OF BILL: This bill would strengthen consumer protections in consumer debt collection proceedings. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: OF BILL: The bill would require that the complaint in consumer credit actions provide the name of the original creditor, the last four digits of the original account number, the date and amount of the last payment, a chain of title of the account, and a breakdown of the amount that the plaintiff seeks to collect. The bill also requires that a copy of the contract be attached to the complaint. The bill would reduce the statute of limitations on consumer credit actions from six years to three years. The bill would also bar debt collectors from collecting debts on which the statute of limitations has expired. It would require that an additional notice of a pending consumer credit action be mailed to the defendant by the clerk of the court. This is required in New York City and the bill would adopt this requirement statewide.
