Q: I live in Missouri. I am in collections and the collector states their attorney is due 50% of the principal.

I was served to appear in court, however I believe Missouri has a limit on fair attorney fees at 15%. The attorney is charging 50% for filing the suit. Is this a FDCPA violation?

You may be referring to Section 408.092, which limits attorney’s fees for enforcing credit agreements. There’s not a general 15% cap. Ultimately, if tiki lose the court will determine the amount of reasonable attorney’s fees.

You can ask, but as an at-will employee, either party can change the terms of employment at any time. The other party can then accept or reject those terms. In other words, the employer doesn't have to agree to let you work from home.
