1 2013 West Virginia Consumer Credit & Protection Act Decisions West Virginia State Court Cases ISSUES WVAG s subpoena and enforcement powers under WVCCPA WVAG has broad common law authority to hire private outside counsel and to pay them through the proceeds of litigation (arising out of challenge in Mason County cases by WVAG and private firms against all major credit card banks regarding their marketing of payment protection plans) No retroactive invalidation of arbitration provision by Dodd-Frank Arbitration provision in mortgage loan was not unconscionable (procedurally or substantively) Arbitration of consumer note enforceable Appeal of WVCCPA debt collection decision in which liability determined but not damages was interlocutory; damages were not mechanical because of discretion afforded court by WVCCPA Syl. Pt. 6. Under W. Va. Code 46A 5 101(1) [1996], which provides that an action under the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act involving certain regulated consumer loans must be brought within one year after the CASES Cavalry SPV I, LLC v. Morrissey, 2013 WL (W. Va. Nov. 2013) State ex rel. Discover Fin l Servs., Inc. v. Nibert, 231 W.Va. 227, 744 S.E.2d 625 (2013) State ex rel. Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC v. Webster, 2013 WL (W. Va.

2 due date of the last scheduled payment of the agreement, the statute of limitation begins to run on the date under the parties' agreement providing for the final periodic payment of the debt. However, if the periodic payments are accelerated under the terms of the agreement [i.e., by default], causing all payments to become immediately due and payable by the consumer, then the statute of limitation begins to run on the date when the accelerated payment is due. Orders dismissing WVCCPA case for plaintiffs failure to prosecute upheld Farm loan not subject to claims for unfair debt collection under the WVCCPA, W. Va. Code 46A and 46A Enrollment agreement between students and state college did not constitute a consumer credit sale under WVCCPA, and thus, students did not have cognizable causes of action for unconscionability and inducement by unconscionable conduct under Act; credit was not granted to students by the college, which was the seller of education services, nor did the college grant credit to students pursuant to a seller credit card, and instead, credit was granted to students in the form of student loans by third parties, and college as the seller of education services did not extend credit to students for the payment of those educational services. WVCCPA Damages: (1) debtor's award of civil penalties under the WVCCPA was not conditioned on an award of actual damages; (2) maximum civil penalty award under the WVCCPA was not excessive and thus did not violate due process or the prohibition on excessive fines; Arbogast v. Ally Financial, Inc., 2013 WL ; Carroll v. Nuvell Credit Co., LLC, 2013 WL ; Arbogast v. Ally Financial, Inc., 2013 WL (W. Va. April 2013) (mem. dec.) Miller v. Clear Mtn. Bank, Inc., 2013 WL (W. Va. March 2013) (mem. dec.) Mountain State College v. Holsinger, 230 W. Va. 678, 742 S.E.2d 94 (2013) Vanderbilt Mortg. and Finance, Inc. v. Cole, 230 W. Va. 505, 740 S.E.2d 562 (2013)
3 (3) creditor abandoned any claims of error relating to civil penalties based on jury's findings; and (4) debtor was entitled to award of attorney fees as a prevailing party despite victory on less than half of her claims. Subsequent purchaser of car cannot exercise limited warranty for car battery and bring WVCCPA claims when warranty was limited by its terms to initial purchaser; the Court really means it this time Statutory bonds, required for a mortgage lender/broker license, are viewed as judgment bonds, rather than performance bonds, for which the surety is liable even absent notice of the pending claim or default judgment. The court did not address how a claim upon such a bond would be decided when a judgment cannot be obtained, such as in bankruptcy. State ex rel. Advance Stores Co., Inc. v. Recht (McMahon II), 230 W. Va. 464, 740 S.E.2d 59 (2013) Hartford Fire Ins. C. v. Curtis, 231 W.Va. 596, 748 S.E.2d 662 (2013) West Virginia Federal Court Cases ISSUES Dismissal of WVCCPA claim where mortgage borrower failed to plead delinquency of loan.
