Bill overview
This bill clarifies that legal claims related to consumer credit and protection under West Virginia law (Chapter 46A of the Code) will continue to be pursued even after the person who was harmed or the person responsible for the harm dies. Specifically, it ensures that lawsuits for violations of this chapter can be brought and continued by the estate of the deceased individual or their representative. This protects consumers and ensures accountability for unfair debt collection practices.
