Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
3rd Party Liability
A year ago, I was involved in an auto accident caused by someone else. During the repairs, my insurance company paid for a rental, with payment going directly to the car dealership who arranged the rental. The owner of the dealership absconded with the rental fees of myself and many others. The dealership has since been sold. A class action suit has been filed by the rental agency against the owner, but in the meantime, they are trying to collect their money from the renters, sending a collection agency after us. Can they do this and if so, do I have any rights?

You asked the same question on another service. You received an answer like that of Mr. Comparetto.
Re: 3rd Party Liability
1. You may have rights under the fair debt collection act as the debt has been paid;
2. Whether the dealership absconded is of no concern they were paid upon receipt of the funds from the insurance company.
3. Hire an attorney to write a letter detailing your position.
