Listen to this article7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Norman Peck v. IMC Credit Services
Case No.: 19-3187
Officials: EASTERBROOK, SYKES, and ST. EVE, Circuit Judges.
Focus: FDCPA Violation
Norman Peck sued IMC Credit Services for mailing him a letter to collect a debt that he insists he does not owe, in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692–1692p. The district court entered judgment for Peck under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 in the amount of $1,101.00, “plus costs to be determined by the Court.” Peck sought “costs” in the amount of $25,293.65, but the district court did not award any. Because Peck requested costs not contemplated by the federal rules and the relevant statute, we affirm.
