ORDER

In his complaint, plaintiff alleges that defendants Campasano, Precision Academy

System, Inc., and NCO Financial Systems, Inc. violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices

Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692, and wrongfully garnished his wages in violation of Arizona state law.

He seeks actual, statutory and punitive damages. Defendants have failed to answer the

complaint or otherwise defend in this action. The court now has before it plaintiff's motion

for default judgment (doc. 10). 

On January 10, 2007, we ordered plaintiff to provide further evidence of proof of

service before ruling on this motion (doc. 14), and he has now done so (docs. 15, 16). In

addition, plaintiff has provided evidence of his actual damages in the amount of $6,098.29

(doc. 15). Accordingly, we grant plaintiff's motion for default judgment against the

defendants, jointly and severally, in the amount of $6,098.29. Given the heightened burden

of proof, we decline to award either statutory or punitive damages.
