C U Recovery, Inc. (CUR) appeals the district court’s adverse judgment in Deloris Kojetin’s action to recover damages for violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). After Kojetin signed a promissory note from a credit union for her son’s car loan, the credit union referred the note to CUR for recovery after the loan went into default. Kojetin brought this action against CUR because its validation notice misrepresented the amount of the debt after CUR added fifteen percent of the principal balance to Kojetin’s obligation. The district court concluded that CUR’s notice violated the Act by adding the collection fee based on a percentage rather than on actual costs when Kojetin’s agreement with the credit union provided she was liable only for actual costs.
