CHICAGO — A woman is suing Harris & Harris Ltd. and Arnold Scott Harris PC, Chicago-based debt collectors, claiming they harassed her with collection calls.

Kristen Yukna filed a complaint on May 18 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the defendants alleging they contacted her several times regarding her debt without permission.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges the defendants used an automatic dialer or prerecorded voice to contact the plaintiff, leaving voice messages on her phone.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks injunction against the defendant, damages in the amount of $500 per phone call, treble damages and any further relief this court grants. She is represented by Lance A. Raphael and Craig R. Frisch of The Consumer Advocacy Center P.C. in Chicago.
