Croy v. E. Hall & Associates, P.L.L.C.,
Slip Copy, 2007 WL 676698, W.D.Va., March 02, 2007 (Civil Action No. 5:06-cv-00107.)

MEMORANDUM OPINION


SAMUEL G. WILSON, United States District Judge.
*1 This matter is before the court for a determination of reasonable attorney's fees to be awarded to Sally Croy. For the reasons set forth below, the court will award Croy attorney's fees in the amount of $5,667.00.



I.

This action was brought by plaintiff Sally Croy against defendants E. Hall & Associates, P.L.L.C. and Edward Hall, alleging that the defendants violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) in attempting to collect a consumer debt from Croy. On November 30, 2006, defendants served Croy with an offer of judgment, and on December 4, 2006 Croy accepted the offer. The offer of judgment itself contains ambiguities that were later clarified by email from the defendants to mean that the parties agreed that in addition to the amount of $1,001.00 in statutory damages, costs, expenses, and attorney's fees “accrued to date and as determined by the Court are included in the Offer.â€
