Judge Finds That Bank of America and West Asset Management Harassed Florida Woman

This means she can go for punitive damages.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bank of America Corp. and a debt collector it hired to go after
deceased customers' debts violated state law by repeatedly calling a
Florida woman about paying the credit-card bill of her late husband, a
Florida state-court judge ruled this month.

Judge Keith R. Kyle in Lee County, Fla., found that collection
attempts by West Asset Management, an Omaha, Neb., firm working on
behalf of Bank of America, amounted to harassment.
