Airing on WGBH on September 3, 2024, Jenifer B. McKim interviews April Kuehnhoff to discuss how debt buyers and other companies filed more than 92,000 cases in state courts last year to collect debts from consumers, according to a new report released by the Massachusetts Trial Court.
April Kuehnhoff, a senior attorney with the Boston-based National Consumer Law Center, said court officials should be informing people that they can question whether they owe the money at all.
“Courts do a disservice to consumers if they are not clearly conveying this information.”
