10-3184 Carter v. AMC, LLC
POSTED: Friday, May 13th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
BY: WISCONSIN LAW JOURNAL STAFF
Consumer Protection FDCPA; lessor’s agent A landlord’s agent is not a debt collector under the FDCPA. “We conclude that, although one usually ‘obtains’ a debt by purchasing it, this is not the only way to do so. A servicing agent ‘obtains’ a debt in the sense that it acquires the authority to collect the money [...]

BY: WISCONSIN LAW JOURNAL STAFF
Consumer Protection FDCPA The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act does not extend to communications meant to mislead a judge, rather than the consumer. “[W]when read in light of the Act’s purpose and numerous provisions, the prohibitions are clearly limited to communications directed to the consumer and do not apply to state judges.

BY: WISCONSIN LAW JOURNAL STAFF

Tinsley’s argument makes hash of them, because if the word ‘consumer’ is [...]
