Indiana and Pennsylvania District Courts Hold that Filing Proofs of Claim on Time-Barred Debt Does Not Violate FDCPA
Troutman Sanders lawyers David Anthony, Ethan Ostroff, Alexandria Reyes and Benjamin Carlsen’s article, “ Indiana and Pennsylvania District Courts Hold that Filing Proofs of Claim on Time-Barred Debt Does Not Violate FDCPA,” was referenced in an April 29 Indiana Law Blog post and an April 29 Credit and Collection News blog post.
The original article, which was posted to the firm’s Consumer Financial Services Law Monitor blog, discussed two federal district courts having dismissed lawsuits filed against debt collectors, “holding the filing proofs of claim in a bankruptcy case on debt subject to a statute of limitations defense is not actionable under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.” The court cases discussed were: Donaldson v. LVNV Funding, LLC and Torres v. Asset Acceptance, LLC.
